A little drive

Let’s take a little drive, shall we? 

Head out of Lima going south on the good ole’ Panamerican Highway.

Watch out for road repairs due to prior earthquake damage (specifically the big 8.0 last year):

***********************************************************

After an hour and some, when you see the V cut in the mountain ahead, you know you’re almost to our house! (I believe the oops truck is carrying bananas):

***********************************************************

Closer now. You can see “Asia” written on the mountain to the right:

***********************************************************

Round the curve:

***********************************************************

Aha! Here is our neighborhood! Slow down to take a turn in to the right:

***********************************************************

Entrance gates (which were subsequently painted lime green in the summer):

***********************************************************

Drive down the main road in our subdivision (hehe). The little hut looking things are actually placeholders for the land until the area is built up (or so I’m told, but I don’t see that happening any time soon). In the distance straight ahead, is the Pacific Ocean:

***********************************************************

The road comes to a T. Prepare to turn left. I have to admit – the first time I made this trip, when we were moving here, I started to wonder where the houses were going to fit since it seemed we were running out of land:

***********************************************************

After the turn, a short travel down a portion of the old Panamerican highway:

***********************************************************

Turn again – our driveway! You can finally see where we live. Notice all the grass and trees, and neighbors! (hah)

***********************************************************

Into our complex:

***********************************************************

Park the car at our backdoor. This is our building and our windows are the brown one (Sam’s room) and the one above:

***********************************************************

Walk around the building to the front and see our house! It needs some paint touching up.

***********************************************************

Sam checking out his kit (and my gnome):

***********************************************************

Open the glass doors and come inside!

Home tour manana! Ciao! (they say that here instead of adios)
