Nostros nuveo casa

in the land of the coconut.

Our new home is actually our tent in the yard while we have the casita worked on.

We had a new floor poured in the casita to bring it up to the door, too funky to step down into the bedroom. The red is a final skim coat with white cement and the color, it has dried to a deep terra cotta, I love it. We will be in the tent awhile though as it needs to cure, have sealer put on and we are going to paint all the walls. We are also having the screens replaced and shutters made. It is quite lovely sleeping in the tent under the palms and stars.

The crew did an awesome job and now we are like everyone else in the village with a pile of sand and a pile of gravel outside out front door.


Our lovely young neighbors came over while they waited for their dad, he takes care of our place when we are not here and we gave him our old refridgerator,

we were surprised to see him load it in a wheelbarrow and take it accross the street!

As sweat is pouring off me here in the local internet, I will say adios and write soon. I want to show you some of the wonderful wildflowers that are blooming everywhere, as this is the end of the rainy season, on the next post.
