Will this real estate deal ever happen? Our lawyer’s father has taken ill and he has gone to Mexico City and promises that he will be back on Monday. We met with his assistant, who we were told spoke English, he doesn’t and yet he help translate a document. I have asked about the amount of money that will be required on Monday and I have received no answer. I have just found out that the seller is out of town and won’t be back until February 26.
Joanne keeps saying “calm down, stop freaking out”. Our plane leaves Mexico City early Thursday morning and we are a long way from Mexico City. The maps and internet say that it is an 8 to 9 hour drive. We have heard this before, 3 hour drives become 6 hour drives because there are mountains (who knew). Also the people who make these times don’t allow time for being lost and we seem to be constantly lost.
We anxiously wait the return of our lawyer and Monday’s meeting. This lot is far from a done deal.
Last night I had weird dreams (who, me?) and I was walking from somewhere like Atlanta to NYC going through small towns etc. In one town, there was a parade with lots of animal costumes and such and then I was on the coastline of Alabama and saw a fabulous spit of land high over the cliffs overlooking big fish jumping and birds of all kinds and little 'no frill' seafood restaurants (more like huts) overlooking the beach. Then I got up and read your blogs.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the land deal. Susan and I have just sold the first home we made together from scratch and it's been an emotional roller coaster with a lot of weeping and cursing. But we have found another place at a good price...don't like it quite as much as this place but inb that one, we won't be undoing the work of the crook we worked with before. I may have to come to TO mid March for a couple of days. Any chance I can invite myself over for Purchase prepared provisions?
One issue after another eh? I'm very hopeful that you can get this deal finished before you have to make a mad rush back to Mexico City. I tried google map directions for you ride home to get a idea, but google maps had no clue lol.
ReplyDeleteWhen you do finally make it back to Toronto, email or call me! I keep ending up in your neighborhood and noone is home!
Miss you Guys!
