"Settle-in" services coming soon

We spent this afternoon with Eduardo and Paula, two good friends of ours that we've known since we arrived in Ecuador a few years back. The four of us headed out to the Boca around low tide for lunch. 

On weekends, vendors set up on the beach and serve delicious food including fresh ceviches, fried fish, shrimp, fruit drinks, and the like. Delicious, inexpensive, an unbeatable view and multiple hammocks to choose from for a little relaxation after your meal.

Over lunch, we discussed with Eduardo and Paula about working with us to offer services for new-comers to the area.

Where to get a cell-phone, how to pay the water bill, the phone number for the fruit truck, where to buy a vacuum, how to use the local bus transport, where/how to buy a car and register it, how to get your Ecuadorian drivers license, etc... will all be part of the services that they and our other local counterparts will provide.

It's a fast-track to getting settled-into your new Ecuadorian life that bypasses much of the awkwardness of getting to know a new place, new customs, and (for many of us) a new language.

We'll get more details up on the web soon as we sort out the pricing structure and detail the services.

Here's Paula at the third fruit/veggie truck that came by today... We bought 60 limes for a dollar to feed our ice water with lime addiction.
