It's winter here, and you wouldn't know except for the lack of tourists, and that the American economy is really affecting the businesses here. There is hardly a soul on the streets, lots of local traffic, but not many people walking.
As I walked to work this morning, which I am working on the computer at Rossys, Cafe El Mar. I couldn't help but notice many places closed, So many changes that I almost can't remember what was where? Rossy is experience a total drop in business, the place is totally empty. Now she is sort of going through what I went through almost a year ago same time.
She is trying to be strong but I can see the stress in her face.
I am working along actually doing good for my first few days, making efforts to get as many contacts as I can online, and then working the phone.
Yesterday we took a ride and saw a little place to rent one for her and one for me, its pretty far from Jaco about fifteen minutes in the an area caled Que Brada Grenada, a little village just north of Jaco between Herradura, and Tarcoles. Tarcoles is a beach area / river that is the most protected river for Crocks in the country. There are absolutely Masses of them. Some are Gigantic. Its not near there but its in that direction, this property was advertised on our local chanel here that has very dated text that shoots on the screen every 20 seconds with adds from rentals, food, cars, just like a classified but on TV, I found the ad saying Little chalet, with huge garden beautiful setting. So we go, nice drive but for me it's going to be a bus ride daily into town, For Rossy its in her car, our times to work are different. She comes in the coffee shop in the afternoon and handles the store till 12:30 or 1:00 at night. I will go early into town, and probably later seeing clients durning the day, finishing at 6 or 7.
If it had internet I would just work from there and then phone call when I get the cellular. But for now I am not sure how it will work out.
Its not a house for the two of us, its a huge property near a river the owner an Italian lady lives in the big house in front, she has a small stuido which would be mine, And I mean small... then the Chalet would be Rossy's with her five dogs. YEAH FIVE DOGS,,, the lady has eight so I am not sure if I am doing this or not, but it would be nice to be in a compound with the owner, her and I. very safe and with all those dogs! GOD I DON'T Know???
I have a week, but I am not sure how I am coming up with the deposit.. so I am asking around still.
She has to move the economy here is so bad she can not afford the house she has been in for more than six years. I advised her to do it.. she really doesn't want too she wanted me to live with her and pay half, but its YET TOO MUCH FOR ME to take on. So I suggested to fine a cheaper place and just tough it out. But when we looked there was small place for me too? So well maybe for a month of so it will be ok? BOW WOOOWWWWWWWW WOWWWW oh I don't know?
As far as not knowing its Winter : Reason is it is hot and sultry, and sunny.
I already did a fruit search found one that is just odd, round like big ol cannon ball.. Brown on the outside and slightly fury, inside bright orange, very enlarged seeds, Brazil nut same size.the flesh is fiberous and slightly sweet. I like it actually. And of course I had to get some Mangos there giant right now and so red and yellow.
Its about sunset time so I may just take a walk and see the sun go down.. The Sunsets are spectacular.
