Our furniture is almost ready!

We rented this place partially furnished. There was one good bed, some decent outdoor tables and chairs, a good fridge and stove. and a usable sofa. But that's about it. Very little in the way of kitchen accessories. No television(s). No closets.

And we knew that. In fact the price we're paying in rent is more reflective of a totally empty place that you would have to furnish yourself anyhow.

So I kind of figured we would be spending at least $5,000 CAD ($3,600 USD) to get the place set up the way we want it.

We never get tired of our view here!

And although we have a lot of the kitchen accessories available to us because we have Igor's kitchen set up, there will soon come a time where Igor won't be here (because we will be driving him south) so the kitchen here needs to be set up on its own.

So while we were away, there was the big Buen Fin sale that they do here in Mexico prior to Black Friday. So we bought a bunch of stuff then, but we still need to buy more.

It was almost like Christmas!

So we bought a toaster, a coffee maker, an electric kettle, cutlery, a knife block set, cookware, wine glasses, 2 hair dryers (one for each bathroom), and some shower shelves for each bathroom.

But, there is still more we need that we'll order today.

Oh, and our furniture will be delivered this weekend! We're excited about that. We had a kitchen island built, a sink cabinet and countertop, two coffee tables, two wardrobe closets, and four bedside tables. I was in touch with the carpenter yesterday and he said everything would be delivered this weekend.

And, we had an upholsterer in town making us new cushions for the downstairs couch. They will be ready on Thursday. A little expensive, but we chose expensive material. Hopefully they turn out the way we hope.

So, things are coming together. We still need to decide what we're doing with decorating. Pictures, house plants, that kind of thing.

We resumed our Spanish lessons yesterday. Our "teacher" thinks we've made some good improvements since we started with her in early October. And we think we have as well. 

Headed into town today to go to the bank and pick up a few things.
