It was so strange to leave Quito during the city's parties. But on Thursday the deal went through that Grandma had been working on, and now the beach house in Tonsupa is ours! We were all very excited to go and check it out - last time we were there we saw the house and met the owners, without (at least for me) really believing it would someday be ours. But everything went perfectly and now it is - furnished and all.
The view from the bedroom balcony. The pool has spigots that spit out water and make a waterfall - the kids love it!
We are just two blocks from the ocean, but the pool is so beautiful that we ended up spending most of the day here. It was a bit chilly in the afternoon though, but the kids didn't care.
The kids in their room.
The kitchen.
The living room and porch.
The house itself is two stories - three bedrooms (the two upper rooms both have balconies), two and a half baths, with a small garden in back by the car park. The caretaker and his family is so nice - they made us some delicious bolones de verde as well, and we spent a heavenly day just setting up house and hanging out on the porch. Well, we had to get in the pool for a while (believe me, it was a bit too cold for that, but I won't complain. In some parts of the world it is snowing right now! Plus, it is usually very hot so most of the time the pool will be a godsend!)
We did some real cabin-like things such as jigsaw puzzles as well. And played Bunco at night.
