I must say that I am very comfortable with my choice of homes for the year here in It’s a three bedroom, two bath house gated with two other homes (real neighbors). It even has an electric fence around the walled-perimeter (that may be over-kill as this is a very upscale hood). No, I do not feel like I’m in a prison, as I leave at will!
The modern penthouse apartment and the smack-dab in the centro de la ciudad apartment had their appeal, but this was the most effortless route to the aeropuerto, where I support my client building the Lear 85.
I’ve got a 3-day weekend ahead to provision the house, explore the path to the essentials (bank and food mostly), and get back into a workout routine with my new buddy, who happens to live about two blocks from me.
Do I miss my home in El Dorado Hills? Of course, especially with the pool all warm and wet. But I will be back there to transition out, and will be visiting my real home in Piney Point as well.
Meanwhile, I am perfectly content with this new adventure! There are many new freindships to develop, and perhaps a new love?
