We have met some really great folks here in San Clemente. Our nearest neighbors that are Expats are Bethany and Larry, They rent a house right on Ave. Quito about a block from our home and are building their beach home right around the corner.
They had plans to return to the states for several weeks and were kind enough to allow me to ship them some items that are difficult, if not impossible, for us to find here. They came over right after their return to bring these wonderful treasures.
Thanks Bethany and Larry for finding all that room in your luggage for our items. We are going to Guayaquil early next month – is there anything that you need or want that we can bring back for you?
Finding our Paradise in South America 
It sure is wonderful when folks have room to share in their luggage. They also were able to bring a couple of items for me, cortozone cream and miracle whip :). We’ve been fortunate this past year .
John and Mary, I have gotten so many spices and supplements for Joe all of which I could not find here. All from the generosity of new friends who were total strangers before coming to EC…we know we are blessed…love you, N
