Ask for more pics and……voila! From the other side of the casita. The photo with the wooden bench depicts the kitchen/sala area which looks into the forest and further into the hills beyond. There will be a covered verandah on this side as well as on the front facing the road.
April 2nd……. More and more cement work accomplished this week. A few minor “tweaks” to be made regarding windows, but all in all shaping up to plans. It’s hard to judge the scale from the pics as they turn out somewhat compressed when uploaded to the blog. I don’t know how to rectify this yet. Next week should produce some photos from the other sides of the casita.

| One week on, and the walls are growing substantially. |
The weather, also is substantially better (than here)! What a change from bare grass….
Thanks to my friend Yorleni for the pics! The walls are rising from the foundation. lots of steel and cement block to come…..
Today, the builder staked the location of the casita, and construction is set to begin on Monday morning. The weather is awesome these last few days, and it will be hard to leave the heat. Spent most of the day getting accounts set up at the bank, (hours of paperwork….really). Tomorrow, plan to explore Betsys farm and forest behind my place, and then spend some time with her and David in the afternoon for some brown pops.
Saw some toucans yesterday in the trees at the front of this casita, very colourful birds with unique flight habits.
