And once we saw how the electric bill is "measured" we pulled out all of our fans and are now using the new air conditioner only while we sleep. Last night we sat outside with our neighbor until 11:00 and it wasn't so bad when we went in to sleep.
Since some of you have asked, I'm posting some shots of our new apt. It is modest, yet large, and we are very happy here. The biggest benefits are that it is on ground level (loved our rambler in Duvall!), it is off the main street so we aren't looking out into the street, there is parking for both the truck and trailer, Sitka has a little vacant lot at the end of our drive to do her business, and our landlady, Lolita, her son Jesus, and her daughter, also Lolita, live right here too. It is all sorta connected. And then across the street is Lolita's Hotel Ana and her son Raphael has a house over there. It appears Lolita is a Guaymas real estate mogul and it is nice to be surrounded by her family. More about Lolita to follow...
So here are some pics...
The front door with sweaty Mike.
The living room.
The "office" in the living room and the bed (the one we're sleeping in) in the living room.
The beds (2 pushed together) in the acutual bedroom.
The bathroom.
And the kitchen.
Oh and Nancy this last pic is for you. It's my one jar of Adams peanut butter. I wish I'd stopped in Mazatlan to share it with you!

Thanks for sharing the photographs. I have thought of the two of you as our Pacific northwest weather heats up. At 9 PM it is still 74 degrees. I will be turning down the thermostat in the hot tub tonight.
I'm so glad you're settling in. Once you have an electric bill then you'll know how much you can use the air!
You're quite a tease with that peanut butter, I can hardly look at the picture! I go back to the Northwest in July for a week and I will bring back a jar for sure!
Wow, it looks a LOT better than when I was there last! Good work, y'all!
Looking good. See you tomorrow.
Oh Man! Adam's Peanut Butter. It's one of the few things we ask for friends to bring us when they come to visit.
We've adapted to just about everything food/grocery related, but I'll never get used to the sweet overly processed peanut butter.
Good Luck - and remember if you see it and want it - buy it - cuz it will be gone tomorrow!
A telltale sign of a previous life in the Pacific Northwest - a French press - cool!
Best of luck to you two with your new Mexican adventures.
