Little house in Guatemala, week 41
Ugh. The past couple of weeks have been pretty tough. BF was away and I was still dealing with the long long process of splitting my 90 acres land in 100 smaller plots. We gave up trying to split in 260 for fear it would be too much at once to get approved easily, and… Read more
Little house in Guatemala week 39-40
I have been really annoyed with the land workers lately. Well, with the contractor, the other ones just obey him. He is a macho and only listens to BF, and at the same time wants to be treated like one of us, which leads to awkward situations. Anyway, BF was gone for a few weeks… Read more

10% blog income pledge: sponsor a child
Useless random fact: French people are terrible with charity. We almost never give a thing to our alma mater, our charity donations are $50 at Christmas and giving $3 at mass on Sunday is considered generous, so much that when the Euro came along, the church begged people who used to donate a 10… Read more
Little house in Guatemala week 35-36
After I got the council’s approval letter to split my land in 250 plots last week, things have been really weird. The council still seems to want to have a say in what we are going to do exactly, but when I went to the national cadaster’s office, they said this particular council has… Read more
