Mi Rancho es Su Rancho

(For those of you who don't speak Spanish, that's an invitation to come to our house! It literally means 'my ranch is your ranch.')

Last week Nick spent 4 days working with our neighbors Roberto and Don Josue to make our house a bit more rain proof and to add a large front porch onto it. We invited both families to join us for an 'inauguration' meal on Thursday to thank them for their work and to try out the 14 person table that Nick built.

We hung our double hammock between the two post of the porch where we can lay in it and look at the stars at night or enjoy the sound of the rain.

We hope our peaceful lifestyle and comfy accommodations (anyone want to sleep in a hammock overnight?) will entice many of you to come down and visit us!

shared meals with our neighbors are becoming
quite a common occurrence
