It’s Nov 6th, and we’re finally in our “home”. Yesterday we packed up our suitcases and headed to our home in the hills of Boquete (Jamarillo Centro). Joy and Jerry (Dutch couple), the home owners were there waiting for us. Inside, freshly cut flowers and a basket of treats were waiting for us and every bed had a chocolate treat on the pillow. What a wonderful welcome!
The house is a fully furnished 2 bedroom (plus loft bedroom) home. Sydney has claimed the upstairs loft as her “apartment”. It is so nice to hang up and put away all our clothes. Josh and Syd are enjoying having their own space and lots of space to run around outside. There’s also a tire swing and trampoline for the kids to play on. We have goats keep the lawn manicured. We have fun feeding our compost to them.

The views are incredible. We are literally on a hill with a valley on either side. We have lime, orange, bananas and lemon trees right in our yard.
Even simple things can take a while here. I had quite a time figuring out how to work the washing machine. Everything is in Spanish, so this morning Paul and I were outside, where the washer is, looking up every word. Talk about cross cultural laundry!! I was also wielding a very long knife to cut the lawn. Right near the clothes line are lots of bushes, and we are in the jungle, so I thought I better chop them down. I don't want to see a snake first thing in the morning! Mmmm snake soup!
Cross cultural laundry!!!!
