UPDATE! 7/19/2008

O.K. This is funny....Brenna took this photo and I was like "what are you doing"....then I realized it would be a good sharing tool. She is telling me how to write the blog right now as well...what would I do without her....

Anyway, all of this was $6 from a truck at the bottom of the hill....that's a pound of garlic ..LOL

We were thinking $25 for this in the states, of course they don't spray paint the vegetables here but.....you can't have everything


This is another Brenna photo of a Hibiscus as big as a dinner plate. It was huge! She said it was the biggest Hibiscus she has ever seen. They were everywhere.


If you look closely you can see the rancho "palapa" on top of the hill in the center of the photo. That is the property and the giant pinnacle mountain to the left in the photo is just off our property but is beautiful.


Here is a photo of the framing for the roof going up and being welded on last week.


AHHHHH! TECHO' (roof) ..... I would say that 75% of the roof is on as of today and also about 70% of the interior walls are smoothed out. They have started working on the exterior walls now and I expect the roof and walls will be ready in a few days. I believe we will put the floor in downstairs and start finishing work in a week or two.

That is all for now. Lot's going on and more around the corner!

Brenna and Curtis

ROOF!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, now we can all come down to check it out! Congrats on getting across that hurdle, can't wait to see pics of the inside once it's finished.

Brenna, nice photography! Looks like you just need a few tomatoes and you could have a nice pineapple, onion, garlic, pepper salsa! Gosh, come to think of it, that sounds mighty tasty on some fresh caught fish :)

If you plant some of that GIANT hibiscus around your property now, it should be a decent size by the time people start showing up! I can't wait to see it in person.

Love and miss you guys!!!
