I will arrive at age 72 in reasonable good condition other than a breathing issue at above 3,500' or 4,500' depending on pollution. At this point I am looking for a central point to the West of the Andes in the foot hills. From there I will explore the Western slops looking for a place to call home. 4 to 6 months may be realistic. At that time I should have paper work in order and will have my house hold goods shipped ... one move only!
Do the indigenous Indians welcome Yanks who speak Español reasonably well. I have lived and worked in México for 10 years. Within months I hope to do well with the Ecuadorian dialect.
Thanking-you in advance.
Regards,
Tom
