In the neighborhood

Yesterday the gate guard waved to us to follow him into the woods near the front gate. Normally De Anne and I might hesitate to follow a stranger into a third-world jungle; however, Luis has always had a friendly wave and greeting for us in our walks. After a few yards we saw a young colt with a piece of clothesline around its lower jaw and secured to a tree. It was well groomed and healthy looking.


Inside the neighborhood there is another option for those not wanting to go to the expense of topping the compound walls with razor wire. Beer bottles are another option and show how even here recycling is done.

Our neighbor Bruce showed me his stash of bottles he will be using to top his wall. He has chosen the Presidente bottles, going for the green motif. He still has a few cases to drink to have enough, but he is working on filling his supply.
