Property Managers & Crickets...

I posted another batch of photos.


I'm sorry that I haven't described all the pics..I will try to go through them and do that, or at least most of them.

I think I may have found our future property manager. I went and visited with as many as I could today, and found one company that stood out. I am going to take the owner out to the property tomorrow, and we will know more soon. This is a huge part...having someone we can trust here in Nicaragua to take care of our house. One thing that I never considered, but is something that we can't take lightly, are the labor laws in Nicaragua. They are very similar to a socialist system, and greatly favor the workers. Which means that choosing the right property management company to manage our house sitter....is more important than I thought. That's why I like Jason with Cornerstone, he understands this, and will make sure that we are covered.


This morning I decided to move out of the country, and into the city for my last three days. I have moved into the South Seas Hostel. It's a nice little place across from the Irish Bar. Need I say more...

Tomorrow I am meeting Will at the Negro Gato coffee shop. We will have some good Nicaraguan coffee, talk about how terrible the Utah Jazz are, and then head out to the house to finalize a few more things. We have really accomplished a lot on this trip, and are close to being done. I have two more days in town, then onto Managua for the last day.

I am also planning on following up with the landscaping guy and finalizing our cacti security system...which is basically just that...and bunch of cacti surrounding our house. Hopefully I can finalize that too before I leave town.

Time to get some sleep....we just chased a bloody cricket out of my room so I should be able to fall asleep now. Nicaraguans are pretty ingenious people. I came back to my room and there was the loudest cricket ever in here. I tried to find him...couldn't...asked the local to find him...he did in ten seconds....and now I can sleep.

Cheers,
Keeley
