Over the time we have improved our living situation. In our living courters we have acquired a couch, two 70's style vinyl chairs, a huge rug, and table tops. All donated. In Seth's room we made him a work bench for constructing. In both our rooms, we sleep on bedsprings with a mattress on top and Joe and I with our tent on top of that. Seth is braver than I am to sleep with no bug net. We don't have mosquitoes but flies wake you up in the morning. Not too many spiders either except for a big spider just yesterday that Seth had to smash 3 times with a book. It was giganto.
Joe painted on top of old drawings in our room to brighten them up and to keep the original good art. We did a base coat of paint on the walls too since our room had black on them from a fire in the past. Definitely a more homey feel now. Not that long ago we took down our window in our bedroom to get a breeze going through our place and put up some netting to keep out the lizards n such. Funny thing is we got a huge breeze the next day for we had a storm come in. Our whole place was way too breezy to even hang out in. We put up with a wind tunnel for a few days and now it's so nice having the ocean air sweep through.
Another living area is the French Courters. Named after Vincent and Ulric that stayed with us in the beginning of Isla Bonita. They were from France and always be remembered. Kate and Simon from Russia, a guest named Herta, and Richard all sleep in the French Quarters on beds. Their room looks out onto a beautiful view of the ocean. Also in the middle of the ceiling is a swallow's nest. It looks like a upside down igloo. The swallows chew up piecies of mud and spit it out to form the nest. They have repositioned the nest three times now since the Spring. They fly in and out all day long up high so they are no bother. If anything their fun to watch and the babies are almost ready to fly. Melly is in a room with a shower (like ours) that has two nice windows. Her room is behind the French Quarters. Down the hall is Gabrielle's room that he is sharing with a guest named Francesca from Italy. It has a basement room down below. Next to Gabrielle's room is a old bathroom turned into a indoor nursery. The house is big. Let alone the phycadellic bar, free library, paint room, a storage room, and a art gallery. That's all indoors.
Thought I would write about our living courters since it's one of the most asked questions. How many rooms does the house have? 6 rooms, 2 showers, and the rest fun stuff.
Also I am amazed when I talk to someone and they say they read my blog. I love to see people's comments, or if you have a question, or just to say hello. Fun to see people like this. I do this blog to have a diary of my life in this particular moment in time. I'm so happy to share these moments with everyone.
