Today was a very quiet Monday. I woke up at 8am and started my ‘online’ learning. Since I can’t afford most spanish courses here in Merida, I’ve decided to self-teach and by the fall enroll in a local univeristy offering Spanish courses for $2,000 MN (around $190USD) for a quarter of classes (9 hours a week for 8 weeks).
That means my summer is going to require much at home time. Which is fine by me. While we have some fixing up to do (adding shelves in the kitchen, buying a little furniture, adapting the garden/yard) overall this is a very comfortable house. It is bright, but with little direct sunlight (which is good in the heat) with a clear breeze flowing and strong fans in the two bedrooms and comfortable dimensions. Sunday morning the local cable company (Cablemas) came by and setup the cable and internet. Today, I connected our wireless network. If it weren’t so hot in the front rooms, I’d be up there on my laptop, but in the heat I’m close to the fans we have.
Here are a few pictures of the house…
