This week we completed construction in the house.  We don't have doors or kitchen and laundry cabinets; they'll take a while longer.  The floor-to-ceiling wooden cabinets in the living room area hide electrical, TV and telephone panels.  They also provide a place for Doña Martha the hang some of her many family pictures.

I am frustrated by my camera's inability to reproduce the wall colors correctly.  Each area has three walls in a near butter color with the fourth wall and ceiling the same color, one step lighter.  The floor tiles have the same two colors in a non-geometric pattern.  This creates a cool monochromatic setting for Martha's many pictures and wall hangings.  All the wooden items -- cabinets, dinning table and chairs -- will have a mahogany-color finish.  New couches for the living room have not been selected yet.  The couches and drapery should bring some lively color into the space.
 
Next week we start on rejuvenating the sidewalks.

These are views of the kitchen/dinning/living room open plan area.

This picture has the colors almost right.

Our trash hauler is back with a replacement burro for the one who died.

I have been amazed at how young children begin biking here and how common it is to see someone riding on the rear axels.  Here 5-year old Armando is giving his father, Coco, a ride.
