the adventures of dos tortas

We have had two days with spotty electricity. There have been blown fuses, and well it’s a long boring story. So instead, I’ll share pictures of Lisa’s mother’s house. 

A casita on the property.

When we decided to move to Mexico, Lisa and I discussed bringing her mother to live with us.  We brought her to Bacalar on vacation in February 2014 to see if it would be something she would consider. (See blog archives). She was all in!

Lovely patio with fountain and stairs to the roof

Little did she know that it would take two years to move into her little house.

About three hundred square feet, she has one bedroom and a spacious porch.

Lots of niches for her collections

Bathtubs are not common in Mexico, but Alice wanted a small tub.

A small kitchen

The view from her bedroom

Being close by, Alice feels safe and has us to visit. She has been having fun fixing up her little house and planting a garden. We are going kayaking next week if the wind stays calm. She is having a blast.
