Mi casa es su casa


The entrance to our downstairs apartment

We have a new house--actually it is an apartment. We moved last week and are finally feeling a bit more settled. It's a great location--about 3 blocks from the school. So it's a pretty easy commute to and from school. We are living in a 4-plex of apartments. Two of which are Tico (Costa Ricans) families and two which are gringos--other students.

The yard and the kids playing with our neighbor

As in most cities, green space is a hot commodity and quite rare with the houses in the area. So we feel blessed to have a common "yard"where the kids can play and even swing! Not to mention the park that is 2 blocks down the street with a field, a BB court, and playground equipment. We are enjoying the convenience of city life--with a grocery store, bank, and bakery all just around the corner.

We are happy to be settled in our own place at last--it makes it feel a bit more like home--even if only for the next few months. Stay tuned for some pics of our walk to school and the infamous "gringo-catchers."
