It is very close to 33 years ago a jet left Kotoka International Airport in Accra Ghana taking me away from the tropics never experienced since. Barring unforeseen circumstances it's not gonna make 34. Starting in Dec and through Feb the place you see below will be home. At this link is a description and more of the same used here.
Needless to say I find this exciting. It will be very low key and non touristy. There is no car and it's a mile into this small city of Atenas that is noted for it's spring like climate year round.
I do not have to lock the door if I choose and English works but I will try to learn.
The criteria set were rather broad several months ago when I really started looking at the possibilities for a place to hang for several months during next winter. Learned a lot and very briefly the search criteria used to find a place most of the time brought me to Costa Rica and Panama.
This is poor but you will get the idea.
Again it's all new this not working thing and to me so far after five months it's been much better than working. I am so fortunate that something like this can even be on the table and what's ahead this spring and summer as well. I'm lucky and I know that. It appears this can be done within the limited monthly income there is.
Public transit here we come. Bring it on!
Have a good one.
I'm so excited for you! What a wonderful new adventure it will be.
ReplyDeleteLove those petros. :)
As the kids like to say, "Sweet!"
ReplyDeleteand I forgot to say it certainly is "very sweet for me".
DeleteThanks Teresa and if anyone ever decides to NW Colorado and Dinosaur you will not be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteA common saying in Ghana that I liked so much and still use and that is if something is real good that can be "toooo sweet"
ReplyDeleteAnother "life is sweet for you".
The last time I was in Central America, I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to kick back, but I did get to spend a week in Oaxaca, mostly unbothered, that ranks as one of the best experiences of my life. I'd love to go back there again-and just stay there.
ReplyDeleteAh, the life of an expat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should solicit donations so I can experience some low-life activities.
