The house is clean for Central American standards. A fence surrounds the house and a very small yard. This is good, the kids can play outside unattended. There are lots of home made lean to type structures built up to the sidewalk. These lean to's function as shops.
People arrive early in the morning to sell anything and everything in front of our home.
Our home is located very near the center of this very large town. Because of the heat, we leave the windows open, so late at night and early in the morning lots of noise can be heard. The kids are so tired at the end of the day they have no trouble falling asleep. The upstairs of the house has two rooms connected by a bathroom. The small shower has no hot water which is still very difficult for Jan.
