is a very, very, very fine house! We’ve been here 3 weeks today. Hard to believe. Our stuff arrived a week ago. It’s funny how we pondered why we’d left some things & brought others. Some of it was based on thinking replacement would be cheaper here. But it’s not always true. And there are some things we just plain miss. But we’ll get over it. After all, that’s part of the lesson of this whole adventure. Remember? Letting go. We’ve worked hard to set things up-the house, the phone, utilities, etc.-& it’s been pretty exhausting I must say. My only complaints about the house are 1) It’s cold in here some days! We have a propane heater but don’t like the (subtle) fumes. 2) The water pressure in our shower is AWFUL! We’ll be asking to install a pressure system after New Years.
We’ve found all the secondhand shops & scored some great stuff. We’ve indulged in bags full of produce & GF goodies at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market. We’re fairly proficient at taking the bus. And we’ve done a lot of walking. It’s relatively quiet up here & the neighbors are pretty friendly. We have a couple of plans for Christmas but haven’t found any of the Mexican celebrations yet. Maybe next year we’ll be more acclimated. For now I’ll show you our house as it is for the moment.
(I have no idea why this picture is larger!)

Love the views you have! Awesome! What color is your home? Purpley pink? It is certainly colorful. Lisa
Hi, Lisa! Hope all is well. I sure miss MSC & all you lovely ladies. Tell everyone hello.
Yes, I call it Casa Mirada-That’s one color of purple which is actually darker than this. It is definitely a purply-pink. All the houses in our block are tan or orange. Very Mexican to use bright colors.
