Rentals and Repairs

It is going on the third day with no water in my casita. The repair man brought me the water pump last night but it didn't work. I finally started getting water from the standing water in the fountain. When that runs out I will have to walk down to the lake with my bucket for water. But maybe it will be fixed today. He is working on it right now. I am extremely uncomfortable with my dirty dishes all over the place. I have been showering at the pool. Anita and I looked at apartments yesterday. Even though this is the low season, prices are high. We looked at two apartments across the street from where I am living. Small places and the rents were a thousand dollars a month and fourteen hundred a month. We found a couple of cheaper ones in a beautiful garden and they were more reasonable, six hundred and fifty dollars a month and four fifty but no furniture. The manager told us he could find furniture but he neglected to mention that the rental price would increase by three hundred dollars a month..... So, we are both kind of discouraged right now. Now I am thinking that I may have been misleading people all along by telling them that it is cheap to live here. Not with the rental prices I have been seeing.....
