Our Final Blog Post

Dear Family and Friends,

I have pretty much stopped blogging.  In the past, I would post to the blog, publish it and then link it to my facebook.   Over this past year I have only posted our travels on facebook.  It is a little different, but much easier for me and I can easily post as we are traveling.  My facebook name is Nancy Powers Watson.  If you want to follow me on Facebook please feel free to do so.  If you want to be friends, just add a message to your friend request letting me know you want to follow our travels.  You will need to do this because I normally do not accept friend requests for security reasons.

I wanted to post this last post to the blog so you would not think that either of us has disappeared.  We are quite healthy and so thankful for that.  

We spent Christmas with family in Tucson, AZ.  We returned to Ecuador last Monday and found that we were returning during chaos.  We are fine, our friends here are fine and we do not know exactly how things are going to go in the near future.  We will take one day at a time, and pray that the conflict will be stopped.  

Also, we are selling the very first condo we bought here in Cuenca.  We have been renting it out, but now that it is empty again, we want to be able to continue to travel and not have to put the condo under a property manager.  Also, we are getting older and if we sell the condo, that is one less piece of property for our children to have to deal with when we die.  

We want to share this condo on this final blog post before we go public with it.  For you folks who have been reading this blog for years will know this condo.  We had many friends and parties here, especially during the early years.  

We have been putting together an ad to publish.  We would like to sell it ourselves. I want to share the details on this post.  If we happen to sell it to a follower of our blog we would be so happy.  If response is are slow, we will go to step 2 and publish it locally in the next couple of weeks.
