I did it

See,  there was nothing to worry about. I now have a new place to live and wait till you hear about it. You will know it is exactly me. I have lots of pictures of the compound and I met the Tia and the sister who helps her and they served coffee and bread and seemed to like me. I will be moving on Saturday. I don't actually have an address and I will have to go to Paraiso to get a post office box. I just call it The Compound and I keep warning Gerardo that one day he will stop by and there will be a water feature because that is the one thing it is missing. Jose was working with another lady also so we spent several hours going around to look at lots and houses. It was very interesting and some spectacular views but most of them would be too remote for me. I like being in the center of everything.

The outside - the compound covers the whole square block.
