More Thoughts on the Rainy Season

Now that most of the time I have electricity after a storm, I am beginning to enjoy this rainy season. I think my electricity has only gone out twice in the past few weeks. It was fixed within a few hours instead of days. My landlord hasn't threatened to move again and I haven't thought about it either. Also, the rains are mostly coming at night now. At the beginning of the season it often rained in the day but now it is sunny most of the day. 

The rains keep it from getting too hot. The hot months are May and June, up until the rains start. Those are good house sitting months because people leave here and go someplace cooler.  It is hard to complain about the weather here because it is usually beautiful. I like this season because the part timers are gone. The town is quieter. The restaurants aren't crowded. There is less traffic. People are more relaxed. I also enjoy it when they return. Maybe it is the change that I like. Both times have their advantages. The trick is to focus on the good in each season and appreciate what IS......

Last Wednesday Market, Very Busy

An Afternoon at El Dorado

My friend let me go with him up to El Dorado for the afternoon.  I swam in the beautiful pool and then he showed me a couple of places for sale. Beautiful condos. Wish I could afford them.

The five above photos are of a condo in the tower. It is for sale or for sale as a fraction, which means you buy a month or more a year and pay yearly fees, or you can even rent it by the night or by the week. It is a pretty place with a beautiful view.

Sweat Lodge for ceremonies

The above three photos are of a studio that is for sale, for sale as a fraction or for rent by the day, week or month. It is the least expensive one there. Not bad for the price and the use of all the facilities.

The Villas

Villa for sale

 The villas are on the same grounds as the tower. You buy a lot and have the house built or else buy one already built. They are nice.

If you are interested in either buying, renting or buying as a fraction you can contact these numbers:

Last Night at the Lake Near My Casita

Chico and I took a walk to the lake last night, just before sunset. It was beautiful as usual. I have never been to that spot and found it uninteresting. There are always lots of photo opportunities and things for Chico to investigate.  He has a special affinity for the stinky old fishing nets that are left on the shore, or dead fish, or any dead animals. I have to keep an eye on him. His other bad habit is to be aggressive to big dogs wondering around, not on leashes. I think he is afraid so he acts tough. As soon as I see a big dog, I grab Chico and take him back home. Sometimes that cuts short our sunset viewing but I don't want any more bad experiences down there. Breaking my ankle was enough, more than enough.

An Evening with Friends at La Vita Bella Restaurant

La Vita Bella Restaurant is located in the Raquet Club, near the top of the mountain. It is a beautiful place with a spectacular view. The food is a little pricy but worth it. I went with three friends to celebrate a birthday, Carolina's. We went Saturday evening.  It was fun. We had a table outside but it started raining so we moved inside. Here are some photos of our celebration.
