Dear Friends,
I'm working on a Mac that needs a new motherboard ($1300), so it may check out on me at any time. For now, though, I will think positively; denial is not just a river in Egypt.
We continue to settle in pretty well! School is busy for both of us; for me, the testing is full time (I'll be back to part time after next week) and Carol is well into the admissions process. Recommendations loom ahead... Our little house is getting more comfortable every day, with a lamp here, a vase there.
We're trying not to accumulate stuff, as we have plenty of that back in RI. I'm probably having the most fun out in the yard (which we don't have in RI!) There is a gardener for the complex (it's called the Complejo) and he trims grass and bushes, etc, and also special projects that we ask for. The school provides a lot of plants, and we have bought some at the Jardin Botanico.
We'll be getting up to the nearby city of Santa Tecla this weekend, to set up our birthday celebration at a local food pantry, complete with pinata and pizza, and lots of kids! It should be fun. After that we will explore the local mercado (which is a big outdoor shopping mall) and also get some coarse ground corn, which makes great kitty litter.
I'm gonna post this if I can, and be back later if it's possible.
