Turns out it wasn't that easy. We didn't like most of the homes we toured for various reasons: a) they didn't make good use of their space, b). they were dark &/or musty, c) they considered plastic chairs and wood benches furniture, or d) some were just plain nasty! Finding something that fit our standards means the possibility of paying what we paid for our place on Colfax! So, with only a handful of affordable good ones to choose from, we pretty sure we have found The One......with the exception being that it isn't available until July. With this in mind we have also looked for more temporary situations to hold us through and found one that we will be moving into this Saturday. It is nice, new, clean, spacious, bright, and has secure parking for Dewey. Good enough for us in the meantime!
If you're familiar with Antigua, we'll be just a block and a half from Tanque La Union, a beautiful pool-like structure in a park where indigenous women are often seen washing their laundry. It's a good location for both of us in terms of leaving town for our jobs.
I happened to catch this photo of the Tanque the other day while wandering the streets.
