Books about Ecuador

While researching Ecuador I've come across several books and I've bought several. Here is another book that is up for free at Amazon Feb 17-18. I plan to nab it and hope it will provide more insight to this country.

ECUADOR 2013 - RETIREMENT FACT FINDING TOUR:
This is a look without the normal hype at our on the ground research of Ecuador as a possible retirement country. A review of prices, people, attractions, hotels, restaurants and history. We visited Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca and Manta.

Over 225 pictures included. This information is based solely on our criteria for retirement living abroad. It is a journal of 11 days in January. We do not claim to be experts however, in preparation for the trip we read every blog, magazine and book we could get our hands on. Our goal is to share our findings and let you make your own decisions about your future abroad.

Here are the other books we have bought. Each brought out something of interest and has been helpful. The first two I bought as e-books, the last is paperwork.

• Living and Retiring in Cuenca: 101 Questions Answered
  
• Why Ecuador for me
• Frommer's Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands (Frommer's Complete Guides) 

Here are the books we have bought to help us through the translation/transition of Spanish to English and back again.

•  Merriam-Webster's Pocket Spanish-English Dictionary (Pocket Reference Library)

Hoping these references will help others in their search for information.
