Tuesday July 8

Today is back to Quito to get the paperwork sorted out. You’d think after the wedding all the work is done, but not in Ecuador when foreigners get married!

In the morning the electric meter man came. Later my gardener came to the door to see if we wanted the grass cut. I said yes. He was still here when we left for the city.

The first thing we did was I got some ID photos made. Then we had copies made of the documents we have to take in. then we got some breakfast after which, we went to the office we went to yesterday. We were told that one of the things she wrote down that we needed we had to get at another office. We went there and were told it was closed. So we have to come back tomorrow morning.

It seems like this running around never ends. Boy, will be glad to go on our honeymoon.
About 5pm I got a call from Judith who asked if it was ok for her father to stop by in an hour as he would like to drop off a gift. I said sure. She also said if it would be ok to meet us tomorrow at 10am instead of 11am. I said it was fine.

Judith will help us with going to some of the offices we need to go to.

Cecilia and Eduardo stopped over this evening with a wedding gift. They were at the wedding but didn’t bring a gift with them. The bought us a nice blanket for the double bed. It needs it here as it gets cool at night. We gave them a glass of champagne and talked a little.
