New Definition to "House Hunting"

Whew!!! i have finally found an apartment people. i have been looking all week. must say one thing. . . looking for an apartment in this city is great exercise. There is no "Apartment for rent" section in the newspaper. You kinda just have to walk up and down and up and down and up and down the streets. . .look for itty bitty signs on buildings in tiny writing - SE ALQUILA APARTEMENTOS. . .and then when you find the little bitty piece of paper, you have to find the place that is actually renting the place because, of course, the building that the little piece of paper is attached to is not the actual place or rent. SOUNDS EXCITING, HUH? It´s like hunting for treasure (hee hee) and one heck of a workout. Apartments here run around 2000Lempiras which is about the equivalent of 100 bucks. Great deal, huh? It´s pretty cute. I have to start from scratch though. I need to buy. . . a bed, a frig, furniture (or atleast something similar to furniture) and . . . well, just about everything. This should be lots of fun on our volunteer budget. All that penny pinching i learned from my mom should really pay off here. Talk about budgeting!!!
