What A Wonderful Feeling!


Just a quick drive-by post to say that I’m loving the process of clearing the decks for moving to Ecuador. I know that it can be a difficult emotional process but I think the organizing freak in me supersedes the sentimental! There’s a wonderful aspect to going through absolutely every single object and piece of paper in your home and organizing them so that you finally know where everything is and whether you actually need it or can be rid of it. Any object that remains either has personal meaning or a purpose--I feel so light because of this and that bodes well for the move. Just two more weeks!

PS: The picture above is of the block where I’ll be living—you can just see my building on the far right side of the picture (gray facade).

Presidente cordova and vargas machuca?

Yes! I guess that corner is pretty distinctive. The white house is very unusual for Ecuador--I haven't seen a shingled facade anywhere else.

Jason and Donna, I was just in NYC having dim sum again, I thought of you guys : )

Can't wait to see you again! And going shoe shopping :-)

Hey, Holly, I was just figuring out which shoes to pack! I'm feeling like Imelda Marcos--just how many shoes does a person need?!
