My Room





When I was searching for a place to live in OSJ I knew that finding a place with a balcony was essential.  The buildings here are narrow and built right next to each other, meaning no windows in between.  I knew that I needed an opening to the world--a place from which to watch life happen.  My place is on calle San Francisco and my balcony is my favorite place to people watch from.  I have two sets of doors that open up to the street, allowing me to watch from above and also to hear many of the everyday happenings.  My street is a main road that runs across the whole city and my block just happens to be a place where something is always going on.  In front of my building is the famous restaurant and pastry shop La Bombonera, which attracts locals and tourists alike.  Their pastries are displayed in the front window and many people cannot resist the temptation.  Luckily, I'm not one of those people!

So wonderful. I know you are taking it all in and enjoying life away from it all. New Haven and the kids are the same. You are not missing much here in New Haven so you might as well be somewhere different looking at the regular happenings of a different beautiful place. Its starting to cool down. there is now a light breeze at nights where you have to pull a blanket up to your chin. Of course i need more blanket now-i just have to use a really big blanket. fall is here. enjoy the tranquility of OSJ.
