casita nueva

For those of you I haven't called out of excitement and disbelief, I finally got to the go ahead to move into my new house. It is amazing. I have three rooms and a kitchen. I'm planning on setting up an office, so that I won't fall asleep from working in my bed (like I did all through college) and a guest room for all my friends and family looking forward to an Ecuadorian getaway. Note: also included is a hot shower, which next to my pass to the waterfall, is my favorite thing ever.

I have a view of the whole town and plenty of peace and quiet. Just like getting assigned to this community, I can't believe my luck.


Upstairs. The possible office and guest room.




Kitchen, in progress.
Never mind the case of beer on the floor.



Where most of the settling in allowance went..

Lime green bedroom with wall decor courtesy of Camille. Yes, I even posted my favorite mannerist piece.



My street. The house is at the very top of the stairway.
Old-school stairmaster, I think my ass already looks better.



Two stories. Surrounded by fertile land, where I just today planted an herb garden... and all this for a mere seventy dollars a month. Not too bad.

Hi there Sarah dad here! The place looks great and of all your escapades in your little town I am truly envious. What great experiences and quite humorous too. The bread looked great the burn looked bad and the animals looked ….well… hope every one enjoyed their contribution. Stay healthy and I’ll be looking into a web cam.
Love Dad, Emma and Joyce
