so mostly what remains is a layer of dried river mud on the roads and sidewalks, that traffic kicks up. And speaking of traffic, with the Pan American highway closed due to its own washout, all traffic going to southern Costa Rica is routing through Parrita - adding not only to the dust problem, but also making even more horrendous backups at the single lane bridges. Those suckers cannot get completed too soon! Progress on our casita is excellent! 
While I don't have pictures of it, progress on the road repairs within Alazan are also moving along. Both Kent and Rob are sure working hard though! You can see in the first picture that the first floor structure is COMPLETE. Gerardo did forget to provision for our step DOWN shower pan, but Rob assures me that is in the process of being corrected. The second picture shows our first floor WALLS starting. I imagine this fairly speedy process will be done within just a few days, and then Gerardo will start on the second floor structure.

may recall a couple blogs back I included a rendering of the first floor layout? There are two bedrooms on that level and the views in these photos are what people staying in those rooms will enjoy.

The first one is looking directly out towards the Ocean. Camera don't catch what eyes do when you're standing under the canopy of trees. But where the land ends, the ocean begins!
The second one is gazing a little left, and gives a gr
