Meyer household 5, Roaches 0

We are about 100% moved into our new place and it is already starting to feel like home! Our bags are unpacked, furniture moved to where we want it and have generally bought the essentials that we need to make food, eat and sleep. It is a surprisingly quiet area which is wonderful for sleeping. We have a guard shack for our block right outside our gate and the guard, Hector, seems like a really great guy and appears to work 7 days a week for 14 or more hours a day! There are parks everywhere in our neighborhood - only 5 minutes away there is a large Japanese style park with playground equipment, a pond, ducks, and some bamboo mazes. Elizabeth and I went there today and played for a while.

There seems to be less insects on this side of town than there was up in Belen. I suppose that is because it is more urban. That being said, less insects but more roaches down here. About 5 have tried to entered our house within our line of site. We have won all five battles with shoes or chair legs.
