One Month!

The last month has been so full of events, meeting people, and getting settled but the pace is happily slowing back down to normal. Single biggest factor in this is I got a job! Hopefully. I'm still waiting on final government approval (read: paperwork), but the American School here wants me to be their go-to secondary sub. Perfect!
So while I've been waiting for that approval, I've been meandering through the neighborhood. Miraflores really does have some charm! Check out these sister bugs-

And like any charming city, true function may be called into question-

That door (and the yard and house behind it) sits on the Malecon- I pass it frequently and find it completely intriguing!

There is always something happening- the orange cones mark a hole in which a man is completely submerged, shoveling out dirt. No one's with him, just a man, digging a hole, supervised by street art.

I haven't mentioned it yet, but across the Malecon from our apartment, parasailers launch! (It looks much better in the summer, I promise!)

Miraflores is full of comfy cafes! My favorite is La Mora- artisan breads, real chai tea, and the most chock-full of vegetables quiche I've ever had! I could spend every afternoon there with a cafe con leche and a good book!
