So, after lots of looking and those types of adventures… We
have found a new house to live in. We
have decided to rent it with another couple and another friend who is here
until June. There is give and take when comparing it to the house we stayed at
for our first 3 ½ months. Here are the things we like about it: We got to
choose it- thus it feels like we can create the feel of our home, It is much
closer to things, It is a bit more simple- it matches us, It is more
economical. We will miss the garden at the last house and living with Billy,
but will not miss the feeling of being so far out. The new house is near some
other friends’ houses and there is a restaurant and a little fruit vendor
within minutes of walking. We are meeting out neighbors here too, which is
fun. It has been a bit stressful to have
to get some of the basic household items (the house was not furnished), but we
have what we need to take care of basics.
Maybe some chairs for the sitting room soon. Here are some pics.

Killer digs! I like your caveat that it's the dry season in the outdoor picture. Haven't you let go of that midwestern sensibility to show a green lawn to the world? Seriously, this place looks amazing and I think you should throw an orange party in the orange room. Love, bob
ReplyDeleteThanks for the words, Bob. I think I wanted to use the term "dry season". Perhaps I'll write about the weather and seasons soon. One could grow a spectacular garden here if one put the resources towards it. Then my American sensibilities would battle with the idea of resources...
