Our Little Pink House
After 5 months of living with host families we have finally moved into our own little casita!! Finding a place to live was a bit of a challenge as not much was available. This house is actually the only one that we found so it was easy to make a decision and besides the landlord lowered the rent to Q500/month (about $66) for us since we´re volunteers... A definite plus! It´s located a little bit outside Salcaja in the milpa (corn fields). It´s about a 20 minute walk to the center of town. It´s been fun and interesting buying and transporting all of our furniture and supplies up to the house. We´ve bought a bit of stuff in the market in Salcaja and then hired pickups to drive us up to our house. Here are some pictures and remember there´s plenty of room for anyone wanting to visit! And yes, the whole house is pink (inside and out), there are plans to paint in the future...

Congrats on getting your own casita! Please let me know if you have a different address than the one in Guatemala City that I've been using.
Hey-
I'll bet you're feeling "in the pink" now that you are settling in to your own house! Tell me if you need any pink accesories and I'll be on the lookout!
Love the outdoor area....great place to have coffee.
When the corn comes down you'll probably have quite a view!
love, mom
mom beat me to the punch line. I think it looks great and I bet it is so nice having a place to yourselves? Does it come with cable? DSL? Give us an idea of what you need for a house warming gift and we will see if it fits in one of those little USPS boxes.
We are planning on using the guest room, but probably not until next spring.
love dad
Xiquita,
we really do not have an address out where we are, but our old address is still good. All of our mail gets forwarded to Xela
Oh, the house looks SO cute. I can't wait to see it...soon! Maybe I'll wear my pink pants and pink shirt in your house's honor:)
Good for people to know.
