Moving Day!

To ease any worried minds at home, we now have a new place to live that is much more secure. The complex where our office is also has about 20 apartments and houses for the employees of Hacienda Pinilla, so we are moving to one of the apartments. It is a definite step back towards life in the US from our simple life in 27 de Abril, so we have mixed thoughts about moving, but overall the pros far surpass than cons. The place is much smaller, but super nice. We´ll be back to a world of kitchen appliances, washing machines, and TV. Most of our friends live nearby and we don´t have to make the 20km trek on a dirt road to and from work each day. It is amazing to be able to pack and move all our belongings in an afternoon, a testament to reducing the amount of "stuff" that accumulates as you live in one place. This week is hectic with visitors from the US, moving, and heading to Nicaragua for a new visa on Thursday, but hopefully when we return after Easter we will have time to write more.

We hope all of you have a wonderful Easter!

Sweet. I can't wait to see pictures of the new place. I'm glad you guys will be somewhere a little more secure.

Do you think moving away from your old place will reduce the chance you'll get your stuff back from the guy down the street?

Unfortunately, we don´t think we have a chance to get that stuff back anyway. We talked to the investigators again yesterday and they had nothing to say. They have our number if anything is found. At least all our stuff now is super safe.

I might have a good starter guitar I can let you keep for a while laying around my place :).
