In
the event that anyone
(other
than bots)
is
still reading this blog,
I thought I should add
a final entry to wrap it up.
The idea behind “Time for Phase Three” was to document the
transition from living in the United States to adopting a new
lifestyle in Ecuador. It was certainly an interesting process,
sometimes frustrating but mostly exciting. That process is now
complete.
To bring everyone quickly up-to-date, Emily and I are living quite
happily in Puerto Lopez. Many interesting things have happened in
the two years since the my last blog post, including a seven-month
relocation to Cuenca, but we are back where we had always hoped to
be.
We are progressing with a number of projects. Emily has been
studying internet-based outreach, including publishing and marketing.
I’ve been studying the sociology of the environment where we live,
including business operations and political maneuverings. We
continue to explore how to build our permanent presence in Ecuador.
I
am continuing to write. Some stories, however, are better told after
they are complete; a serial unfolding doesn’t always do them
justice. As such, this blog has reached the end of its usefulness.
My
next published effort will be another blog; this year, I’m
participating in the “AtoZ Blog Challenge”. As the name implies,
the blog will consist of 26 sequential entries with one entry being
published each day in April (most Sundays excepted). I will be
writing about daily
living in Puerto Lopez; the link below will take you there. I hope
the entries will be insightful; failing that, I hope that they are a little amusing.
I appreciate anyone who has read this story for the last five years
(bots included); it has been an honor to have you as an audience.
Ciao!
