I moved into an apartment this last week. Casa Buena was the perfect soft landing spot, and very reasonable for a B&B, but I’d like to be living on less–a lot less–in Mexico than in California. So I found an apartment through a local broker (muchas gracias, Rafael!) and moved in over the last couple of days. It’s small (good practice for boat living, haha) but very comfortable and the location is excellent. I’m now three short blocks from the malecón, and four to the zocalo and all the downtown markets and shopping. I’ve got a phenomenal seafood restaurant around the corner, and a Saturday farmer’s market about three blocks away. In fact, today I had my mouth all set to try another entree at the seafood place but was seduced by a freshly grilled Spanish sausage sandwich at the farmer’s market instead. Fortunately, there’s plenty of time to try everything.
I have the use of the rooftop in the afternoons/evenings, and this afternoon was my first time for that. It was exceedingly pleasant sitting in the shade, with a warm sun and a cool breeze, watching the sailboats come back into the harbor after the Saturday races. I’m hoping to crew for someone during next week’s race, but this week I was too busy (and tired) to make it to the Friday night skippers’ meeting.
Betsy’s coming down on the 19th yay!
