April 1, 2014 - US Ambassador

---

Well, April is off to a very busy month.

Today we attended a presentation at the Cuenca Chamber of Commerce by the US Ambassador to Ecuador, Adam Namm. He came with Ambassador General David Lingwell and Matt Cranston from the Guayaquil Consulate. There are only four countries that have both an embassy and a consulate - Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Ecuador. Ecuador is the smallest country in South America, but the consulate in Guyaquil has been there since 1825. They just built a new consulate, at the cost of $60 million, so it is not going anywhere soon.

They were there to explain to any Americans that came to the meeting the things the embassy and consulate could provide for us. It was a very informative meeting.
