Photos around our neighborhood

I've mentioned that we do a 5 km (3 mile) circular power walk every day while we're here at the house. It's actually uphill from the lakeshore to the town of El Arco, so it gets the heart pumping a little bit more than if we were totally on flat ground.

Most of the regular vendors recognize us and say good morning as we pass.

We're not sure if we're the only "gringos" in town, but we've never seen anyone else. We have heard that there's a German couple living in the area, but we haven't seen them either.

I took a few pictures from our walk yesterday...

The water level has been slowly rising.

The main road behind the house. It's probably 150 meters from the house, so we don't get any road noise from it.

Heading uphill into town.

And downhill on the other side.

There's a small local market that sets up in the soccer field every Monday.

This is the guy who is doing the service work on our ATV.

I'm having a tune up and oil change etc, done on the ATV right now. I dropped it off there yesterday morning. It's just a couple of young guys who recently opened the shop. He says they also take photos and video clips of the maintenance and repairs as proof and send them to your WhatsApp number. Everything with a 30 day guarantee.

This local shop is only about a 5 minute walk from our place.

This is the local car wash. They're always busy!

Back on the street behind our house.

This little convenience store is right behind us. We don't go there much because she's quite expensive.
