el barrio: neighborhood



this is my barrio and where i'll be living for about another week. basically, it's the side of a hill with about 10 casas nestled in. most of these people that live here are young and single, and at some point they have dated someone else on the hill or in town, which is why it is also sometimes referred to as melrose place. :)

the other night i had a really fun time running between casas. of course, part of this run includes hopping cement fences, over pipes, dodging rusted tin roofs that could prob cut your arm off and timing the sprinkler so you aren't drenched. our older neighbor waters his lawn 24/7 but we were told he's actually the "gardener" for the whole barrio.
now, i love this little hill (minus the stairs) and when i moved in it freaked the hell out of me. but now my neighbors are my friends, people i met last trip like jorge the empanada master, pablo the surf instructor and new ones like juan lewis who owns the best pizza spot in town. where to next?
