We decided to try living in the town of San Juan del Sur instead of in the quiet outskirts. This is our new view. The inside of this place is not much to look at but who needs to be inside??? The seal on the fridge is terrible, there is not counter space, we don't currently have a broom or any hand towels and dogs bark and roosters crow periodically at night. But it is wonderfully breezy, we have a view of the ocean and we can walk anywhere we need to. Of course, it takes a while because we have a 3 year old to prod along But it was so nice to go to the beach in town in the afternoon and walk home at dusk- we ran into to a family whose boy is in Ari's class, some guy just handed us a few mangos and we generally just felt more a part of the town,
Have I mentioned that going to school is a bit of a crapshoot? I never know who will actually be attending school (and until what hour) until I drop them off. The 'regular' hours are 8-11am for Calhoun and 8-12 for Ari. But AT LEAST once a week one of them does not have class. And at least once a week each of them needs to be picked up early. Usually at 10am or 10:30am. So that's handy.
It's beautiful here.
My experience in Bahrain was that roosters crowed whenever the %^&& they felt like.it.
ReplyDeleteBut "The Rooster Corws at Dawn" would be a good title for a Hemingway parody.
