New place

Two days ago we left our cushy digs up high on the mountain and moved down to our new temporary home, which is somewhat less high up on the mountain. Our last place was cush, for sure. Our host is rad and so are her pets, the cat and ducks. We'd gotten comfortable with them all but move on we must (before over staying our welcome).

Now instead of sharing a house with our host we are in the unrented guest cottage, swapping it for 10 hours or work a week. And somehow, we've moved even further up in the world. The cottage has 2 rooms-living/dining/kitchen and the bedroom. The main room is quite large and is windows on 2 3/4 of the walls. A couch, 2 single bed/couches, tv etc and a decent kitchen. King size bed (too soft though, not so happy-making for my back). The view down mountain is awesome. We're surrounded by fruit trees and the pool is 3 steps from the door. Our first morning here I picked a few tangerine type things and made juice. Grabbed a papaya that is about ripe. Went for a short jog and picked up an avocado from beside the car-crushed young ex-wild pig. After all this activity, I sat in the sun on the back deck and made scribbling entries into my journal. I've not taken any pics of the abobe yet, but did snap a couple of sunset through the papaya trees.
