About Me

Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador
We are from Connecticut originally and have most recently lived in North Carolina, USA. We are starting a new life in South America so our retirement $'s will go farther toward a new way of life and a new adventure.Prior to June of 2010 we never thought a move such as this would be possible or advantageous for us. And, that is why we call this blog "Retirement: Plan B" We intend to see and do as much as possible in our retirement. Spend quality time with family, friends and each other.

Another week zips into the past

  It seems as though we never have enough time. I had often heard people who were retired say they were busier in retirement than when they were working. I didn't think that could be true but now I believe them.
  Joan does her weaving 4 days a week and I run around with my friend Mick doing errands ( those oh so important tasks) and then spend time drinking coffee at the coffee tree before Joan is done with weaving for the day. Then it is time for lunch and Joan and I will take care of things we need to do together.
  This week we went to the bank of Pichincha and picked up a debit card for Joan and applied for a credit card. We don't really want a credit card but it will keep us from having to pay for a membership at Super Maxi (the supermarket) each year and we will earn air miles with Lan Airlines. We are still taking spanish lessons twice a week with Noshy.
We will be putting sentences together soon

We have been socializing, of course, and have had dinner out a couple of time this week as well as having Mick and Kathy to our house for dinner. We always seem to have a lot of fun and do a lot of laughing. We met a new couple this week at dinner at the Wesson's. They are the Bogart's. We had a nice visit with them and we will be seeing them again soon. They just arrived from Canada and we know they will be busy getting settled in and we wish them well.                                   
Today, the Wesson's invited us to go with them to a mexican restaurant out of town. El Agave restaurant is about 20 kilometer's away but it was well worth the trip. The owner's are an Ecuadorian man and his Mexican wife. They both have lived in the states and speak very good english. The food was really very good and I am sure we will be going back before too long.
                         
                        
                

So, now it is Friday night and the weekend is here. There will be no weaving tomorrow and no Coffee Tree, but we will find something to keep us busy ( in a good way)
Hasta Pronto
Dale and Joan
