Hola amigos.
We rented an apartment today. Unit 6C in the River Side building. It will cost us $850 per/month plus cable, internet and electricity. All tolled it will be less than $950 a month. The apartment is very nice. It has three bedrooms, three baths. A small terrace, nine foot ceilings, furnished with some linens and basic kitchen stuff.
We will do a video and post it once we are settled. We move in at once maniana (11:00 tomorrow). you can only move in between 8-12 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It has something to do with the security guard. I didn't really understand. Ignorant gringo.
We spent most of Sunday in a penthouse extraordinaire not far from where we are staying. It has a terrace that is 12-15 feet wide and wraps around the entire building. In other words the deck is larger than our house was. It was a three and three with enormous rooms. The place is fairly spectacular. It is owned by a Canadian couple who are selling it ($550,000) and returning to Canada. The furnishings are very beautiful also. We had a good time eating hot dogs, pickled jalapenos and sundried snacks while we gabbed
Hasta luego.
