I told my husband this morning that I wasn’t ready to leave.  This place is beautiful and we seem to get so much done!  Not only enjoying the location, the peace and ability to be creative has been wonderful.  I have built a new website, met lots of interesting people and hope to be able to help the financial situation of some of the local artists by selling their creations on line.

Greg has been busy helping Carol with her website, working with her on her computer, educating her on things that she has had questions about, hopefully it will help her do the things that she wants to do.  They are working on it now while I am thinking about going and getting a foot massage….how’s that for equal treatment??

We leave here around 3 tomorrow to be in Loja in time to catch the flight to Quito where we will go through customs to board for our 9 something flight to Atlanta.  Back to the real world.

Greg had a good meeting at the college yesterday.  They are extremely interested in having him on staff.  That’s the good news, the bad news is the pay scale is really low.  It would mean we would have to come up with alternative income generating sources to make it work.  It is something we feel deserves serious consideration since the accredidation of the college is high.  Greg said it reminds him of the University of Iowa as far as size and layout.  The major difference there is that it doesn’t snow here so it won’t be awful to get around.  We are still talking about it.

We need to get things going at home to generate income, we have ideas and will go to work on them as soon as we return.  Iowa Beautiful is still a viable site that needs the right people to sell the advertising, we will be working on that.

We are so glad that we have come here, never thought it would be as appealing as it is, just thought it would be a nice break, but I have never been someplace that I wasn’t ready to go home when the time came before.  Interesting concept.
