These photos of the garden were taken in June 2020. We have bananas, passion fruit and lemons growing in our yard, and they are all excellent. The bananas are a type the locals call “guineo de manzana,” which have a slight tang to them. We have one mango tree that produces huge fruit in summer. There is a huge water apple tree, a tall papaya tree, and a guava tree that produces fruit though it is blocked from the sun by larger trees, so the guavas are not totally sweet.

There are also pineapples, berries and chili peppers, not to mention a huge profusion of tropical flowers of all kinds.

If you find yourself thinking that this place looks like a little slice of heaven, you’re right! 🙂

Here are some new photos of the house taken this year. This fall we’ll be repainting the exterior of the house, and doing ongoing beautification work in the garden.

Looking from the front gate to the property across the street.

The front door. This front room is a screened-in patio, open to the breeze and the birdsong.

The front gate, and the house in the distance.

The driveway through the yard. It looks like a dirt path, but it is gravel underneath.

The path to the laundry room behind the house. The house comes with a washer and dryer that were just purchased in 2012.

Paved path on the side of the yard. It goes past mango trees and eucalyptus trees.

The side of the yard, and the garden shed in the distance.

The sitting room. This room is always cool, even on hot days, because of the high ceilings and open windows.
