Monday...............

Juat a quick update.
Saturday we walked up to the neighborhood where we want to rent and had a stroll around to see what was available as far as services go.
Pete has been having some tummy issues, so we stopped in at a Vet's office just a block from the appointment. a lovely young Vet, Doctora Carla, gave him a check up, took his temperature and examined him throughly. She pronounced him in good health and suggested trying anothet food for him. She refused to accept any payment for this visit. Can you see that happening at home?!?

There was a 10 K run on Sunday and the streets of El Centro were lively. Normally on Sunday, it is very quiet.
We walked to the opposite end of 12 de Abril, the street we are currentlt living on, and found a very large park. Pete had a great time being off leash and running with other dogs.
The rain set in and we headed back home for a siesta.

We have made contact with the owners of the apartment we want and tomorrow we will be looking over the contract.
Looks like everything is a go! We are very excited.
Today we started looking for a furnished place that we can get a 3 month lease on. Saw one possible, and are looking at 2 more tomorrow.
Doug had his second Spanish lesson today and I did some shopping at the indigenous market. I'm getting pretty good at prices for produce.
I strolled around town looking at furnishings for our new home for a while and then back home to take Pete out to the park.
Spent the rest of the afternoon reading and relaxing.

We are going to Quito on the 15th to get our Cedulas. That will finish up our paperwork and we will be completely legal residents of Ecuador.
Our Anniversary is the 18th, so we will have a double celebration!

Tinight as we were eating dinner, a yellow faced parakeet sat in the tree by our kitchen watching us.

Life is, indeed, good.
