Our Friends the House Hunters – International Style
Check out our friends on House Hunters International in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador!
(Blogger‘s Note: Our friends, Gary and April Scarborough were recently featured on House Hunters International. The show chronicled their move from Atlanta to Cuenca to an ultimate destination of Puerto Cayo, Ecuador, where the Scarboroughs are now developing a beachfront home community called www.laspalmasecuador.com.

Fresh Food at Your Doorstep
You have to love fresh food delivered to your door.
Look what I bought off a truck for $2.50 a pound? Yes, you got it right, it is two beautiful pork tenderloins.
I first browned them and then cooked them up with seco seasoning, chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, hot peppers and we enjoyed it for dinner last evening with a good amount of leftovers for another meal.
This Little House Was Made of Cement
Home construction from a distant distance, reblogged from http://www.stevenwwatkins.com
It took a few weeks to realistically conceive how construction of a home could be managed from another continent 5,000 miles from the building site. But with the aid of electronic media … email, interconnected blogs, skype, and international bank wire transfers, it’s doable.
We’re having fun watching the weekly photos come in that detail the construction of our la pequena casa azul en la colina in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador. Our next visit to see the finished product will be December 21 to January 1 and we can hardly wait.

We’re getting updates about twice a week now and are several weeks ahead of schedule. Looking forward to seeing a finished work when we make our way South this December.
If you’re intrigued by the possibilities Ecuador has to offer, and have a love for adventure, I’d encourage you to click on the sidebar links to www.lossuenosdelmar.net and/or www.laspalmasecuador.com. Gary and April Scarborough would be glad to show you more.
