ONE ROOM LIVING

Well, living in one room together for a month is beginning to wear on us all. Overall, we are doing well, but everyone is getting a bit anxious for some privacy. We've worked out the TV and computer "rules" fairly well, and we've made adjustments to our sleeping patterns; bedside reading lamps are a sanity-saver. At least nobody snores too badly, though Gloria can rack up the decibels when she's really tired. We are looking forward to Atlanta, where we presume we will have two bedrooms (thanks, Mom!) And our first stop in Europe is in Malaga, Spain, where we have reserved a 2-bedroom timeshare condo. Here in Panajachel, we are delighted with our studio apartment; we agree it's the nicest place we've stayed in yet. Still, it's only one large, well-designed room, plus the bathroom.

OK, I'm done beefing. I'm going to cook up some eggs and potatoes, then we're off to the Nature Reserve just outside of town. It's a gorgeous, sunny day here in Pana. Hope yours is super fantastic, too!

  1. Growing up in an affulent US home makes us somewhat unaware of how the people in the rest of the world live. Part of the blessing (or curse) of our station in life. I think it gives you good perspective on life in general. Perhaps makes you a bit more grateful for the things you do have. Maybe you could make yourself a little fort out of chairs and blankets...haha.

  2. I like the fort idea. Only a few more days till to more privacy. Continue to have fun and blog about it.
