From the Jungle

                                                       VIEW FROM FRONT PORCH
We've had a couple of days with Jan & Brent to learn how everything works at their place. I can't begin to explain the difference in ths house sit and the one we did down here last year. Definently NOT rustic here!  It's a very nice, modern "North American" house complete with well fitting screens. ( the most important feature, in my opinion) .  Norm has the basics of managing the Solar Power operations down and everything inside the house is pretty much like at home so this sould be easy-peasy.

ALMIRANTE

We took the Lewis's to catch the bus this morning in Almirante -  about a 45 minute boat ride from the house. They'll be go be a month.  Almirante is a scruffy little town with lots of garbage and not not going on, but  there are a couple small grocers and a veggie stand, so I finished my "provisions shopping." We should be set for at least a couple weeks now.

                                              A BIT of a GARBAGE PROBLEM

We boated back home in the rain, but that was okay because it cooled the day down a bit and now we're ready to hunker down and get some serios reading & writing done. It's been a bit hectic since we arrived. We've been out to dinner twice in two days and we have  a lunch invitation, a  ladies gathering for Majong, and friends coming to "our" house for lunch this week. Who ever said life can get lonely in the jungle?!

More about the area next time. For now....I hear a hammock calling my name!
