SMA - Starting Off Our First Housesit

living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com

Monday came and we moved to our new digs for the week.  We had met the owner on Sunday and then had a down day.  We don't take a lot of things with us; 2 carryons, pillows and blanket throws, coffeemaker, two small boxes of supplies and vitamins.  It took only a few hours for Diego and Lucy to warm up to us.  We have an upstairs bedroom studio with a sitting room, private bath and balcony that overlooks the Parroquia.  

This condo sits in a gated community and is just a stone's throw from just about everything.  You're hard-pressed to have to take a car anywhere.   I spent a couple of hours on the terrace reading the newspaper and taking in the sun.  I have no color anymore.  Some sunning will do me good. Last evening I walked from the condo to the Jardin in about 20 minutes.   While I was there, a woman sitting a bench looked at me and said, "I know you".  I wondered if we had met before and we began to chat.  She reads the blog, so a big hello to you.  

This is the living room on the first floor.  The furniture was made in Thailand.  

This is the living area in our bedroom.  Safe to say, we are comfortable and never ask for more than we have at home.

 This is Lucy.  She is still lurking around the corner wondering what we are up to and when it is safe to jump up on the bed.  "Anytime Lucy",  you are always welcome.  Diego was hiding in the chimney.  They have both come out of their shell and are really warming up to us.

Today we had lunch at Hecho En Mexico meeting our housesit for next February.  A wonderful couple with cats and dogs and a beautiful house in the country.   I think we hit it off.

The weather is cooling down, 24C during the day and a chilly but welcomed 11C at night.  Makes for a good sleep and waking to the view with coffee is even better.  We are looking to get out and do some hiking.  My morning 10k a real joy with the cool air.  I know at home it is cooling down as well but the sites just aren't the same.  Yep, the city is changing and there is talk of a Walmart.  That's progress.
