The Great Wall of Juan!
Soon you will be able to see it from space I bet! Juan is hard at work on the rockpile when he's not fishing. His latest creation is the "S" shaped
wall around the Rock Rooms patio making it even more cozy and private.
Oh how I love the sound of breaking rocks in the morning. Here is the artist at work.
Juan wants to wall in the whole property...here is the wall along the road going up a bit every day.

Those were the "good 'ol days". Simple, quiet and a lot less work.
Progress ??? At this point in life I'm definitely KISS

Just amazing how beautiful you have made that place from what it was.

Juan is an amazing guy!
Great pics of "our" room, nice to look at when it's raining and in the high 30's here. Can't tell you how much I was back on the patio watching the
whales swimming through the pass.
Thank you again for crafting a place so welcoming and beautiful!

The Wall that juan built and Tecate, no?! The exterior wall out on the road will really give you a tight, warm feel. Are the new rooms looking west
all finished? Any new houses being built? Baja fam's place? Adelante y arriba, Amigos. Tio

Wow, looks fantastic. He's done a whole lot of work since we were there, what, about seven years ago?

Geez Bob...you are due back for another visit dontcha think?
Island builder...some of the rocks you packed are in that wall!!! gracias amigo
Tiotomas...nah, the new rooms are on hold till abalone season starts...classic mexican story...ran out of money till next fishing season! no worry, no hurry right? one bag of cement at a time!
There is so much building going on in the village that our builders arent available...they can start the stairs in 2 weeks...maybe .. so we can start the 2nd floor. Lobster season was the best ever so lots of
people are building additions onto their casas. No gringo building at the moment except Nan& are drywalling their 2nd floor bedroom.

Do you remember the look on Juan's face when Jaime panamined (I know the spelling is wrong but am just to damn tired to look it up) stepping trough
the gate and then closing it...before Juan completed it...He looked and looked and then came forth with his small little laugh.
Love the Guy...yeah! and you too.
