Finally, we have sold our house in Atlanta (closing on October 20), and have finally got the owners of the house we really wanted to actually sign a contract to sell us the house in Querétaro (closing around October 25). The Atlanta house has been on the market since May, and we have wanted to buy the one in Querétaro since late June. My patience was running thin. The stories are too long and boring to recount here, but needless to say we are immensely relieved. We expect to be back in Atlanta around the 15th, pack up our last remaining items, close on the 20th and head back to Mexico on the 21st for the other closing.
For an idea of what we have bought, visit this site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomwheaton/sets/72157594198157604/ It will require about 6 months of work, around $50,000, and a good architect who really loves old Querétano houses (Miguel) to bring it back to life and make it livable. We hope to have a patio and a garden at the back with a fountain. And we should be ready for our first guests in the new house sometime toward the end of the dry season (spring). Can't wait. In the meantime we still have room for visitors in our current abode.
And last, but not least, Mamita passed her orals at Emory and just needs to get her disseration done to graduate.
