After Many Years Living in the US We Now Enjoy Living in Ecuador By Martha Perez We are Martha and Hugo Perez, a couple from Ecuador who lived in the United States for many years. Now we are back living in Ecuador.  Hugo went to college in the U.S. as a young man and lived there for 42 years. He has degrees as a dental/mechanical and industrial/mechanical engineer. After college, he worked for Reynolds Aluminum as a technician and later he worked for Richard Corporation in Chantilly, VA. where he designed and created parts for one of the first aerial photography machines. After Hugo retired we decided to move back to Ecuador. As a retired person Hugo is very much enjoying being back in his country. He spends his spare time now doing woodwork in his shop making beautiful inlaid wooden tea boxes and platters and helping Martha design the gardens on their 2 1/2 acre property. Hugo loves to share the wonderful experience of his life in Ecuador with guests who come to the bed and breakfast he and Martha operate. MARTHA WORKED 18 YEARS AT THE
ECUADORIAN EMBASSY IN D.C.
 My name is Martha, and I have
an executive secretary degree with a
diplomacy specialty. I worked for 18 years at the Ecuadorian
Embassy in Washington, D.C. This was a wonderful
and
enriching experience. I had the opportunity to meet many
important people from all over the world. I also very much
enjoyed the American culture and I learned a lot from that.What I admire the most about Americans is the discipline and organization that the U.S. has and its incredible generosity. I tried my best to learn and adopt these characteristics. MY DESIRE IS TO BLEND AND SHARE THE BEST OF
BOTH CULTURES
Now that I’m back living in Ecuador, with all of my experience in the U.S., I want to combine what I have learned from the best of both cultures.  On a clear day, we can see nine volcanoes in the distance, like guardians keeping our valley safe. When I am gardening, I fly to the infinite and experience the most unique sensation, communicating with God. I realize how powerful and generous He is with us.  Hugo
built our house while I was still working in the U.S. We love
to
share our home.
We have
a swimming pool, tennis
courts, sauna and barbecue house and one of the best
gourmet cooks in
Ecuador. We are glad to be back in Ecuador! |
