We've made it!

Yes! We've made it.
A lot of paper work, veterinary visit, packed all the stuff we wanted to keep, clean the house and give away what was left...
After a day trip to Vancouver to get administrative papers stamps (apostille), we flew to Houston, then Quito and finally Loja in Ecuador; then one more and a half hour drive to get to the hotel, where we stayed 4 days.
We received the keys of our new house the day after we arrived (tomorrow will be already a week!)
And we were so impatient to enter it that we went back to Loja (45 min drive) to order some mattresses, that all furniture we have for now! 3 mattresses on the floor! But we are very happy with the house and the views.
Of course we also set up the Internet to keep in touch with family and friends and to share our adventure...
Here is some pictures of our new house...


It's a bungalow type with 2 bedrooms (we are building a third one on the left)
with extra large windows to enjoy the views!

There is pretty hibiscus in the front

Large open living room with vaulted ceiling

Fantastic view from the window


Pretty porch awaiting for outside furniture!

I hope you liked the tour!
