My blog on Barra de Navidad.

After 8 months of intense anticipation, the house is finally complete. Sure there are lots of little details to do, including furnishing the whole place, but essentially its ready to live in.

Instead of waiting for the winter season, we all decided to fly down and see the house. The kids finished school for the summer and we headed down south, wondering just how hot and humid it would be. The first week was no problem as it rained during the night and kept it cool. The second weak was a lot hotter and gave us a good chance to test out the AC system inside.

Will anyone notice if I take a quick dip??

The pool was 90f just from the sun
 Most of the kitchen appliances are working

Tropical storm! The thunder and lightning certainly got our attention.
The carpenter made us some bed frames and we found some mattresses in Manzanillo
