Dear friends,

When I started Residencias Los Jardines, I started writing a weekly newsletter -determined to tell all the good, bad, and the ugly. I knew some readers would be interested in the construction process. I expected others might be interested in the lifestyle of two people who had decided to live outside the box. For others, the adventures of Lita, the parrot and the cat took on an entertainment saga all its own.

Residencias Los Jardines is finished. We periodically have re-sales and rental availability. Some readers may be interested in this information.

Each of the units consists of two bedrooms / two bathrooms, and a large living/dining/kitchen area. The floor plan of each of these units has eliminated the optional "den / office" divider. The result is a larger area offering more flexible furniture arrangements while still maintaining the option of including an office area. At 105m2 plus two parking spots each and storage locker, they offer a great opportunity for someone seeking views, security, central location, and first class, all round living...

The vaulted living room and ground floor bedroom ceilings as well as the master bedroom on the 2nd floor, provide a feeling of grandeur while allowing the warmer air to rise and exit through the ceiling ventilating system.

Our Lives

Weather: Actually, despite what I said last week, we have not had any significant rainfall in the past two weeks. What started out to be a wet rainy season has suddenly changed. We'll see what happens as we proceed through the season.

Hammock: It continues to get a good work out... am going to have to replace it one of these days before I fall through... now if I can just get Lita to bring me drinks and snacks!!!!!!! She has re-found her audio-books and doesn't want to be interrupted... she finally tired of the hateful news events and hate speech...

News Items of the Weeknews

Comments

Nothing of interest to me... government can't agree on anything (this is not news), nominating a CR for the head of the UN Secretary General... don't think so; ​one of the government sub banks run out of Panama seems to be seriously involved in money laundering; tax reform (??? hah, hah) isn't happening; tax collection is bogged down in debate; the two of 4 trains which collided were the fault of each conductor and the dispatcher; CR public schools are on their two week break and more ticos are at the beach than in the office...

Having said all the above, CR life for us is better than the alternatives...
