a view


The rainy season is here, and with that come a few facts that we just have to face. The first is that we often do not have electricity, which sets us free from the internet but also causes us to sleep in sweat because our fans don't work. The second is that the dirt roads here have gone from malo to terrible. These two things along with the excitement that Mom and Lindsey just spent a week here with us (more to come on that later :) ) are the reasons I haven't told you about our new cabina!


There's not much to tell about the actual cabina. It's simple and perfect. It's the location that is amazing. We sit up on a hill that overlooks the ocean. All throughout the day, we listen to the waves break over the beach. Also, the people who take care of the property are super nice. They are patient with our bad but improving Spanish, and they have an awesome dog that we've named Husk. They are always bringing us fresh fruits from the property...avocados, lemons, mangoes, and pipas (coconuts with milk still in them). Actually, the lemon tree grows right outside our back door, and Lindsey and I made freshly squeezed lemonade the other day with them. We love it here.


Only 2 more weeks before our time is up here. We have a few things that we're thinking about in order to be able to stay here for a while longer, but nothing is set in stone yet. Since being here, we have seen that good things are happening, but it's up to us to follow our intuition and benefit from those good things. Whatever needs to happen will happen. I think we neeeeed to stay here. :)
