Have found a condo we love. View of the ocean with stunning sunset views. Will meet with the owners today and work out details. Hopefully we will be moving out of our "dorm room" soon but cannot be soon enough. I think we have blown every electrical outlet as well as blown up a blow dryer, curling iron, lighted makeup mirror, dvd, and electric heater.. The toilet runs continously, you cannot turn around in the bathroom or the kitchen if you have two people in there. The only good thing is Ollie and Hal have been allowed to run free as there is basically no damage of any consequence they could do.
Hal has taken to the beach walks. He is allowed to run free but Ollie has to stay on his leash. He wants to chase every bicycler, bird, car, person in SA. We do love the birds. There are so many different kinds. The all greens are so pretty. I think they look like overgrown parakeets. I hear there are tarrantials in the hills so I may have to avoid hiking till I hear differently.
The country is so beautiful is so many aspects. The wildlife, the lagoons, the countryside with all the cows and horses, the mountains, the ocean. We could be outside all day. My friend, Pat, reminded me of how many Sunday drives she, Mark and I used to take as college students and I promised her many more once she gets down here!
We applied for our permanent residency yesterday which was fairly painless except for the blood test prickings! We passed everything with flying colors and should be awarded perm. residency within 3-4 months.
Miss everyone! Hope to see a few folks soon!
