A little more info

My daughter asked about my ¨quarters.¨  Here is what I told her....

I have a three burner gas cooktop and a gas tank attached,  a bike ( that needs a lot of tune up work which I´ll get done as soon as I get back, a fan, three tables, a rocker, a plastic chair, a bed frame, a place to hang clothes...and a bunch of pots, pans nad dishes all of which I bought from the previousl vol. for $75.  Doesn´t sound like much, but most new vols. start out with nothing so at least I have a place to cook nad sit.  My bathroom and shower are outside but are in little houses ( its not an outhouse but you have to throw water down it to get it to flush) and the shower is just a pipe that comes out of hte wall...the water is not heated but it comes out of the ground a little warm due, I guess, to all the volcanoes around here and the geothermic heat.

The total square footage is probably about 200 but thats enuf for me.  I had a little trouble sleeping this past week as everyone has chickens and at least one rooster in their yards.  And , of course, the ever present dogs that apparently do not sleep ever !!!!! 

I expect to accumulate more stuff as I need it and am here for a while.  Like, get this, I have wifi access in my hovel.  The folks next door have it so my predecessor shared the expense with them and I said I would do that too.  I don´t have a laptop yet but my daughter and her family plan to come down next April so I have asked her to bring me one.  I am told not to trust the mail delivery system in Nic. ( specifically anything that has to go thru the Leon post office) with anything more than a flat envelope.  I have gotten a couple boxes that came thru the Manaugua correa, but I´m not going to chance it with the Leon folks.
