Ian had a good conversation with Rich today. Rich is the owner of La Vista and the man who is selling Ian the casita. There were some worries alleviated about money and logistics and it sounds like construction on our little house will start sooner than later. Ian signed his power of attorney away on his last visit so things could get started without him being there. Details of the contract are being drawn up over the weekend describing what's included in the investment. The ultimate goal is to have a livable structure by the time we get down there in March. Today we talked again about driving versus flying and the best way to get all of our things down there. It's difficult finding accurate information on the subject of importing a foreign vehicle into Nicaragua. We've been using a forum site called nicaliving.com that is helpful but often conflicting. All of the government websites are in Spanish and even though Ian speaks it well, there is always the question of accurate translation. Today things seemed much more real and I was really wishing that money grew on trees.
