Saturday July 11- Living the Viva Loco

Today we went and signed the papers for our apartment and obtained the keys to our new home. We found a 3 bedroom, fully furnished apartment in a very convenient location. Although we live on a pretty noisy street with honking cars and barking dogs all night long, we have a market right next door where we can go and buy our fruits and veggies every day. Right beside the market is a mini grocery store and then a few doors down a bakery. A few doors down from us the other way is a meat market that is safe and has chicken delivered daily. We step out the door and can hail a cab to take us wherever we need to go. We have never spent more than 1.50 for a cab ride for the whole family. The streets are full of taxi’s and we seem to be getting better at giving our directions of where we need to go.
We moved in to the Nuevo casa tonight after a very long day of sorting and repacking at the previous location. We all gathered in the afternoon to go through all the contents of the house, as there was much left behind from the former family the Janke’s. We all finished the evening off with a extremely large pizza from Eli’s. Believe it not 1 pizza fed 11 people (73cm). We headed home around 7:30 and began unpacking. We were able to settle in and unpack more in 2 hours than we had been able to in 2 weeks. Yippee
