The House is Sold!
Only a week after posting the ad in El Comercio, our little house has been sold to a lovely young couple. And we are out of credit card debt, just like that. But more exciting, we get to buy a car! A car that my husband can use as a taxi! He’s very excited about [...]
No More KFC!
Image by viZZZual.com via Flickr Well, not delivery, anyway. I know, we shouldn’t be eating Kentucky Fried Chicken at all – it’s bad for your health and of course there are signs that they aren’t very nice to the chickens – I mean, even before they bread and deep fry them. We don’t eat it [...]
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Peru…
But didn’t know where to ask…! the Ultimate Peru List is the place to go. Completely written and maintained by my friend Sharon de Hinojosa, the UPL is the best place I know of to go when you need any information about Peru. She has page after page of anything you could think of needing [...]
Could it be??
Is the little house really going to be sold this easily? It’s almost impossible to believe, but we had over 40 calls the first day the ad was in the newspaper! Today is the last day we’ll be showing it, (fingers x’d) because it seems there’s a gentleman who is ready to buy it and [...]
Scalloped Potatoes ROCK the House
Image by tofutti break via Flickr I roasted a chicken today, which always gets rave reviews. Unfortunately, I used my last envelope of onion soup mix, so next time I’m going to have to find a new way to season it. But the real jewel of the meal today was the scalloped potatoes. I made [...]
Selling the Little House, Take 2
I figured, hey! I’ve got this blog, why not post pics of the house here? Sometimes I’m just a little slow on the uptake, folks. The house is just a smidge under 30m2, with unfinished concrete flooring. It has a living/dining area, a bedroom, and a kitchen with a very small bathroom. The bathroom has [...]
Getting some work done
Image via Wikipedia It was a busy day around the house here. We’ve been having some problems with black mold in the bathrooms. Our upstairs neighbor (not the good neighbor, the other one!) left a pipe leaking while she was out of town a few months back, and it flooded her place. And soaked through [...]
Bye-bye, Bougainvillea
Image by pablo_caceres_c via Flickr Sorry for the lack of posts this week, it’s been a stressful one. My mom Betty and my nephew Nick left after a 3 month visit. The house is very quiet without them, and we all miss them a lot. My mom has been a huge help around the house, [...]

Selling the Little House
When I first came to Peru five years ago, my husband was the proud owner of a tiny little house. How tiny? Just under 30 square meters tiny. It had bare concrete floors, woven rattan roofing, and sheets of cardboard stapled to the beams for a ceiling. No hot water. One bunk bed, that we [...]

I got tired of life happening while I made other plans, so I quit my job and came to Peru. I live here with my Peruvian husband, two sons, three dogs and various other family members, depending on the weather.
