Our new home in Pelluco

We moved on Christmas Eve when Tere called to let us know her current renters, students, had left early for their summer vacation.  She even sent her gardener in his truck to collect us!  We are a block above Pelluco's beach, and so far the noise of the late night discos is only troublesome once in a while.  Here, I have walked up from the bus stop on the beach road, the costanera:

(Some days there's a horse tethered on the grassy area at the edge of the beach. )
Now, looking up the street, there's a beautiful living fence, una cerca viva, of pittisporum that's just below Tere's gate.

    

I have a key that unlocks the small door beside the gate, and there is our casita, surrounded by flowers and trees.  The air is so good here ... no diesel fumes from the street.

The lower window is our bedroom; the upper is one of two small bedrooms on the second floor.  I've adopted this one for my oficina.  Life is good!
