Pictures are: 1) sunset from the back deck; 2) the view from our bedroom; 3)the kitchen; 4) cheap labor; 5)relaxing in the reading rocker!
The living - dining room area still has the ambiance of an operating room, what with no furniture and a couple of can lights in the ceiling, but the bed is comfortable and appliances have been delivered. Ahhhh! Ice cubes for the Mojitos! Thank you Arthur, Shannon and Flash for sharing the pleasures of that refreshing drink! Water filtration system is being installed as I write this, so Larry won't have to lug the 5 gallon "garafon" jugs up to the condo! Drinking water right out of the kitchen tap! FIVE separate filters! A filter was installed yesterday that filters our entire water supply as it enters the condo, so we're set! WATER - the NEXT world-wide treasure and commodity!
We are zeroing in on furniture now . . .ordered a round glass-topped dining table and four chairs, 3 bar stools, 2 deck chairs and a wonderful oversized rocking chair for the deck just for ME! Sofa and chair for the living room are also ordered - ....delivery takes about 1-2 weeks, so we should have the basic furnishings before we depart.
We are now doing the post-construction detail work - like scrubbing floor on hands and knees, preparing walls for painting, etc.

Also taking time to "play". Carnaval is going to be in full swing for the next few weeks - I guess it's on a par with Rio de Janiero and New Orleans Mardi Gras. I'm not sure how I feel about being jostled by the crowds to watch the parades - but we've arranged to join friends Rick, Cranda, Kathy and Lonnie for dinner at a restaurant on February 4th to watch the fireworks. It gets pretty wild and crazy here!
We are awaiting word on the Kirk Road sale status. One way or the other, we're happy! If the sale closes, we'll scramble home and pack up. If not, we'll stay in Mazatlan until April and move ahead with furniture purchases, painting, deck tile work and interior decorating.
Though we're maintaining a busy pace still, the "knots" are loosening and we're adjusting to the Mexican way of life. We're continuing to meet some great people!
