Back to work - finally

Well, I think we are finally settled into the new apartment in Cuenca. Barb has yet to set up her office area, she is still working on a plastic card table with one bookcase and a plastic patio chair. I'll see if I can talk her into picking out some office furniture this week, then my job here will be done.

We have made several trips to the property in LaPaz in the last few weeks to determine the priorities of projects, get the land registered and test out the endurance of the new car - the road to Nabon will test the limits of any vehicle.

These young heifers have been hanging out on the place for a while, the land is flatter and the grass better than their home place about a half mile away.

The first thing that needs to be done in LaPaz is to secure the property. Because of the easy access from a brand new road going to Loja from Cuenca, the entrance to the property looks like a nice area for a rest stop. I met a military transport there yesterday who had that exact thought in mind. At any rate it seems my vacation in Ecuador is over - it's time to go back to work.
