Camera out of my pocket

  Finally the sun shone while we were walking and I took some pictures as I was able through the trees of the Mountains and one fountain here along a main boulevard.  We live about a mile from some nice food stores and a reasonable restaurant.  the Bus costs between $0.13 and $0.26 each way but we often walk as it is nice and the bus is often pretty full.  The price depends on the type of bus not the distance or route

Here in our new home it is spring,  While still cool at times in the day when the sun shines it is quite nice.  The rain still falls regularly for now but when the sun shines the white on the peaks around the city is very pretty.

Several of the bigger buildings here have fountains and they are starting to turn them on again for the summer.  The streets while not so smooth seem to be paved for the most part, at least in the parts of town we have visited.  The cost of living is not too bad with the national bread costing about $0.27 a piece.  Diana and I can eat about one a day with other things.  As we get more staple foods purchased we will probably drop that to about half a loaf, 

We ventured to a Bazar this saturday and purchased some things.  We found the long lighters and bought one for our gas stove which has no lighter built in.  We also bought a good pan and some other small required items.  A coffee Grinder was high on that list, along with a "Tiger Blanket"

  

as we find the house is cool but not cold enough to turn on the furnace.

While out rented house is lacking on view it is quiet and clean with big open rooms and western furniture.  The kitchen is the least well equipped part of the house but Diana would want to get or bring her own things for cooking anyway to that was ok.

We did get internet but it is limited use in the daytime and open at night.  This will make it nice to chat with people on the other side of the world but is already causing issues with our sleep cycle.
