Thanksgiving & Robert's Birthday

Well, the casa is almost done. I am lucky enough to have visited twice this month. I quit my job - last day was November 9th - so took that opportunity to join Michael & Robert for Thanksgiving and Robert's birthday.

We were there for just about a week. We had a great time getting to know the house. We had lots of visitors as well (people just keep stopping by to check out the place!). The dining room table arrived...just in time for us to have big dinners. And one night a sea turtle came up on our beach. Very special!

First nights at Casa Majahua!

Denni and her Aunt Tina were the first to actually stay at Casa Majahua...this was on October 30th, 2007!

It was a rough first night for them, though. The only rooms they could stay in were the guest quarters and the a/c wasn't working. And the cows decided to "sleep" just outside the bedroom wall (they actually barked all night)...and at 4am the cistern overflowed waking them up. On top of all this was the fact that the road was wrecked from all the rain. Needless to say, they had a fun time.

I arrived a few days later to join them for Alejandro & Mariana's wedding (Alejandro is our property manager). Well, I had a good time ;^). We couldn't use the rest of the house, yet, though (so no cooking for ourselves, yet).

The wedding was amazing. The weather and location was perfect and it was a simple and extremely sweet ceremony. Check out the pictures.
