OK, so weve received a lot of questions about the house, i.e., the one we are living in. So heres the 411 with a few pics to boot. We are renting a home in Cumbaya just outside Quito in the valley about 20 minutes away from the city. The neighborhood has a nice park, and club with a pool, tennis, etc. Its a very nice neighborhood, and we are lucky to have found a place here.
The house is a relatively small, Hacienda style three bedroom, three bath affair with a nice living room/dining room combo, decent-sized kitchen, and small patio and back yard just the way we like it. We really like the more latin style architecture although the trend of late here is very modern inside and out.
So here are some pics. Youll proabably notice a few blank spaces on our homogenous all white wall space. We continue to periodically purchase some artwork to try and fill in the literal blanks in the house.
