February 15
(These are repeats but I believe they were sent twice in emails only this post has more detail to the pics)
Jen, our landlady painted this picture. Sorry it is a little blurred, auto focus didn't work right. This picture reminded us a little of Max. :-) 
As you can see, the entry up our stairs has a steel mesh and bar gate with a guard that sits at the desk to Bev's right, one being there 24 hours per day (two young me share the duty and receive pay they are happy to have, but in our world, very small compensation). 
Notice the windshield wipers on our car are in an up position. That is the signal from the young man, who is a worker for Jen, that he has washed our car. He does it any time it needs it. This morning I paid him P300 (pesos, i.e., he receives from us $6/month). He's happy with that pay even though to us it would be about what one car wash would cost in the U.S. Notice the clothes line. No one has driers here but hand out the wash. We
have a clothes rack in our apartment.
