Last Thursday, the11th, we were putting up some lights outdoors. We got our neighbor from when we lived at #7 to climb up on the high ladder ( which he also brought ) and to do the difficult parts. It took Humberto a few visits to get it all done and we are ever so grateful for any help we can get.<\/p>\n

But first I looked up through our tiny view towards the west and decided I needed to get out on the road and check things out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

By walking to the left outside of our gate I came across this newly cleared opening. That is El Faro in the background. With all the rain this past summer everything is overgrown along the shipping channel.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tris ( and Robbin from Hawaii ) I believe that David might have paid to have this done or maybe shared with the fellow in the two story white house to your left. \u00a0It is very well done and I was able to manage to get up on my own to get to the opening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This is what I saw……spectacular!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A bit of a pan to the right and the Baja ferry.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The color in the sky had not yet reached the car carrier nor the cruise ship and tuna boats.<\/p><\/div>\n

So this clearing is not ours and I don’t know if we can use it. \u00a0I don’t think it would be right to do so. Plus is it a bit of a walk for Colin. So guess what I asked Santa for this Christmas? You would be correct. Yes another Contessa sunset corner \ud83d\ude0e It has been started but I have not yet taken any photos. Sadly as the brush was being cleaned across the site from our gate, it appears that the terrain is about as steep as it was at #7. And we only see our “site builder” every so many days. Might be a New Years project \ud83d\ude09 Hoping it will all work out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It was so fun to come down the road and turn into our gate and see this.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ciela waiting for me.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tis the season and looking ever so festive.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Very carefully I got my ten large Christmas balls hung.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I had already gone in when Colin heard the loud hiss of the snake. It had its head extended and appeared vicious. This was taken later, through the window.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It wanted to go into my bougainvillea plant. That is a machete holding the snake back.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Humberto came immediately. Such a great friend. Notice his machete.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Caught the snake with the broom handle, placed it in a bucket and threw it over the edge into the ocean. Crisis averted!<\/p><\/div>\n
