Fresh eyes

Whenever we have visitors, I
1) enjoy the company
2) enjoy seeing where we're living with a newcomer's point of view.

So to share that:

 The view from my kitchen

 A bank of flowers spilling all over the place

 The valley view from atop the mountains

 Birds of Paradise growing like weeds, except that they're attended to, in the boulevard.

 Some more tended blooms, at the restaurant we stopped into for breakfast.

 The wood fire, coal box, and wood bins in front--for roasting arepas and keeping chorizos warm

 The bench of diners, the view into the kitchen, and the pottery above the arepas stacked on the shelf.

Lastly, a toasty close-up of the arepas, and the giant cast iron grill...

And, that's a fresh look at the place we're in!

Cheers and chao!
