Cuenca Independence Days - #4

   Yep, it's my 4th time experiencing Cuenca's week-long independence (from
Spain 194 years ago) celebrations.  My first one happened to be the
starting days of my initial exploratory trip, though I was delayed
getting to Cuenca because American Airlines left my bags behind in
Miami.  So, I was stuck in butt-ugly-hot-humid Guayaquil waiting for my
bags to catch up with me.  That was 2010.


 
November 3rd is 'THE' day, which this year fell on a Monday, so we had a
long 3-day weekend to party.  Concerts were all over the place, craft
fairs, a carnival, parades, a classic car show, comical races, food up
the wazoo, fireworks, and much more.   There was even a band at the
airport to greet visitors coming out of baggage claim while, at the same
time, greeters handed out orchids and other small gifts.....<read more> http://danoinec.blogspot.com/2014/11/cuenca-independence-days-4.html

Are you contemplating relocation? Escape the Asylum – To South America

Are you contemplating relocation? October 7, 2014 by John Little - OmegaShock.com, by Alexandra Devereaux:

  Relocation can be a bit tricky if you do not do your homework thoroughly. It also requires knowing yourself, knowing what you can tolerate, and what you cannot. But, in these coming times, know that you are going to have to “Stretch” that tolerance and faith to a point of near breaking, as nothing will be as it ever has been before. However, the single most important aspect before considering relocation, is your communication with the Holy Spirit.

  Perhaps you have not given it any thought so far, or are struggling with the idea presently. Well, I assure you, turning this decision over to the Lord, as I did, is your best option, as He alone knows what path is best for you. After reading this article, you will realize it may not be easy, but if you are truly to be in some other place, the Lord will take you there.

  As proof of that statement, I offer to you, my personal story of a journey of “Obedience” to the Lord, after being told by the Holy Spirit to leave the U.S.(read more)...... http://www.omegashock.com/2014/10/07/escape-the-asylum-to-south-america/

Buying Property in Ecuador 

Retirement Hell,  Retirement Heaven.  You Pick.

Vacant Beach Front Land

When was the last time someone lied to you?




Hurts, doesn’t it?


How about the last time you loaned someone money and they didn’t pay you back?




Think back, we’ve all done it.


Remember that friend you helped? You co-signed his car loan and he never made even one payment. I did the same thing.


Life is full of these little disappointments.




But thank god all that is behind you…. You don’t even hold a
resentment toward those people. You are retired now, and life is good.




In fact, you have never felt so good. You are healthy, have money in
the bank and a nice monthly income, and you have moved south to a lovely
little village on the coast of South America. No more mistakes for you.
Just fun and relaxation.




At this moment, your life is perfect....http://www.ecuadorgeorge.com/buying-property-in-ecuador-2/#.VCd2hePeWY8.facebook

ECUADOR NEWS MAGAZINE: Ecuador rejects statement made by the USA

ECUADOR NEWS MAGAZINE: Ecuador rejects statement made by the USA: Official Statement Ecuador news magazine - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility of Ecuador rejects the assertions found in...September 15, 2014.



Ecuador
believes that issues related to the World Drug Problem must be addressed
in a multilateral framework, in accordance with international law and
respecting the sovereignty of the States.



Unilateral
pronouncements on this and other issues have not been and will not be
accepted by the international community nor by Ecuador.



The
document issued by the White House acknowledges that the United States
is the largest consumer of drugs and, therefore, the main destination of
illicit drugs in the world.



The Foreign
Ministry recalled that the last World Drug Report of the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said that Ecuador is one of 10
countries with the greatest success in the fight against the World Drug
Problem, through the effective control of its seaports.



The
Government reiterates its commitment to the implementation of sovereign
policies that privilege the interests and health of its population under
the constitutional principles of the Good Living.
