Not much to report here aside from my enjoyment of the simplicity of life here.
The weather here is fantastic. Now that we're out of the rainy season we get rain for a few hours a week instead of a day.
Driving on these narrow concrete roads is both entertaining and a challenge. It's gotten easier now that I know the rules of the game. Up on the sidewalk? Acceptable when there's no one occupying the space but only on the secondary roads.
It's much more fun at night for the lack of congested streets. There are a few 24hr McDonalds, tons of bars and a few coffee houses that are open late if not all night.
This is a different world without bottomless law (TM:Griff) and enforcers for every aspect of life. That part makes me smile...and breathe easy. There's a flipside though. Freedom in masses isn't always attractive. But for me it's always more attractive than control systems in every direction.
As I walk my dog in the morning drinking a cold beer, I never get homesick. My life was one without safety nets before I came here. That helps one acclimate here. It's up to YOU. There's no teat from the government to suck on. If that's what you need, you are in serious trouble.
There are other things to suck on but that's another post.
