Lynn sent me a couple of images from the lower terrace at the apartment building. I thought they were really nice. Things are not as hazy in the morning. This is a lot lower on the hill the house we are remodeling so the view from there should be even better. I can imagine how nice it will be to sit on the balcony up there in the morning, drink my coffee, and enjoy the view. The top image is of the Huasteca. To its right, out of view, is where the new Tesla plant is being built. The bottom image is of the “M” formation. Below the M is the rich part of San Pedro. The part you cannot see from the apartments that is visible from the house is out of view to the left of the bottom image and includes a bunch of big skyscrapers and more mountains.

Lynn has started sending updates on the house on the top of the hill again. The goal is to get the first floor apartment livable enough for Conchita, Lorena, and I to survive there while Lynn is working on the rest of the house. We plan to take a trip down there in February with an outside chance that it will be earlier or later depending on the progress. Lynn promises me that the house is going to change rapidly now as most of the infrastructure work is complete.

Another house across the street from our first remodel in San Pedro has started a remodel. That is the second one that has done this. Those two houses and the one we purchased, honestly, were the trashiest on the street. These three remodels will very much upgrade the general feeling of the neighborhood by a lot. Lynn says people are keeping things a lot more orderly, too–sweeping the sidewalks and street in front of their houses. Very, very cool result.

Lorena visited the houses with Lynn, his three boys, Lynn, Jr., Marlon, and Bruno, Tío Lauro, and Grandma Conchita last night. It was cloudy and rainy, but Lorena reported the nighttime view from the balcony was still pretty spectacular although the clouds got in the way of the mountains so all you could see was the city lights. The apartments a little further down the hill are pretty much complete except for some details so Lorena got the final set of pictures we will be able to get until the renters move in. Lorena’s internet connection was pretty spotty, so she was only able to send a few pictures. She and Grandma Conchita are on their way to the airport to come home right now, so I will wait until she gets her and I can download them from her phone before I put anything up.
