Settled In

Well, the van has been unpacked and now I’m struggling to find a place for everything. I don’t have any kitchen cabinets except under the sink, so it’s been an experience trying to find storage for tinned food, the dogs’ food, etc. I’m hoping to be able to get a couple of shelves put up in the kitchen area eventually. Bedroom closets are great though so there’s that. At least my clothes are put away!

Still no car, and not going to have one for awhile it appears. I was misinformed about being able to get a car right away. My residencia has to be registered before I can legally do anything. We tried to do it on Wednesday, but couldn’t get an appointment. Now it’s a waiting game until I can get one and start the process. Frustrating as hell! I’m stuck on top of this hill, 3 km to the town and no transport. I could get down there but getting back up is the problem!

Anyway, the dogs are good and I think this chest/head thing is finally starting to breakup. I’ve actually been able to sleep through the night which is great.

I’m going to take some pictures over the weekend so I can include them on my next post. It really is beautiful here. I’ll get some shots of the view from my hill and also of the apartment. It’s so strange to be renting a place. I’ve owned my own homes for years and years now so it’s taking some adjustment. However, after my trip here I’m soooo grateful to have a non-moving roof over my head!

I’ve been told there is a guy nearby who sells motorhomes so I will eventually have a conversation with him about selling mine. Need to get all the legal stuff dealt with first.
