I will arrive at age 72 in reasonable good condition other than a breathing issue at above 3,500' or 4,500' depending on pollution. At this point I am looking for a central point to the West of the Andes in the foot hills. From there I will explore the Western slops looking for a place to call home. 4 to 6 months may be realistic. At that time I should have paper work in order and will have my house hold goods shipped ... one move only!

Do the indigenous Indians welcome Yanks who speak Español reasonably well. I have lived and worked in México for 10 years. Within months I hope to do well with the Ecuadorian dialect.

Thanking-you in advance.

Regards,

Tom

Tom, i have been in Puerto Lopez most of the last 18 months. I speak only a little Spanish and have never had anyone tell me anything about not speaking their language better. i have found the people to very lay back, and have a good temperament. The people I have come to know are very kind and helpful people. I have tried to stayed away from the bigger cities so I can not speak to how the people are there. I wish you well here in Ecuador.
