Homes and Gardens

This morning, Jennifer and I met a classmate of Jennifer's, Lucy, for breakfast. We had a nice time and then I headed to the Biblioteca (library) for the Sunday House and Garden tour. We took a bus to each home - there were three. My favorite was the 3rd house.

The first house is for sale for $1.9mm US. It was huge, but I didn't like it much. It wasn't decorated and had minimal furniture. The second house is available to rent for $1,000 per week and that would be my choice if I wanted to rent a house. The third house had alot of things I liked and it photographed really well. I especially liked the study and the cheerful bathroom. But I didn't like the southwest art deco living room. Each house had either the owner, the designer, or the artist there. So that was interesting.

After the tour, I came back to my apartment and went through photos and did some reading. Then I went out and took a walk and went to El Tomato for dinner. It was a nice evening. Jennifer went with Lucy to get pedicures. She's moving from her family's house tomorrow - her housesitting job starts then. It'll be nice to have a place to go with a great patio!

Other plans for the week - my last(!) - include visiting an orphanage later in the week. A friend of the woman who Jennifer is living with is a volunteer there, so she invited us. I'm a little nervous about going, but I really want to go. We will also be going to La Gruta hot springs on Wed. And I'm hoping to take a painting or a photography class. I've been working on finding classes at times other than the morning, which has been difficult. With my Spanish class every morning from 9 - 11 a.m., it's been challenging. Hopefully I can swing it. There continues to be lots to do!
