Tania and I have been working hard lately so we decided to have lunch at the local mall. For $3.80 you can get a delicious chicken breast with fries (or yucca) and a salad. Excellent!
In just the past few years Santo Domingo, Ecuador, has received its first large grocery store, shopping mall, and a movie theater. I’ve been watching the roads transform from dirt paths to asphalt covered centers of commercial activity. This growing city is full of new housing developments built for Ecuador’s emerging middle class.Santo Domingo had just 2,000 people in 1920 and now boasts a population of over 500,000. This year we became Ecuador’s 23rd province, Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas.
2007 was my first full year in Ecuador and I have witnessed much development. This picture shows a full parking lot at the mall in Santo Domingo.
With several projects in process for 2008, I will become part of the development in this boomtown, rather than a spectator.
