My fellow new arrival and I viewed five apartments today thanks to a very helpful young host that works for the agency that I now work for. One was the equivalent of a penthouse suite and I would have snapped it up except for a rather long commute.
There was also a charming apartment in the historic center a half block from Plaza de Independencia, the oldest and most dynamic area of the city. The apartment had a cheerful decor including this painting of Homer Simpson, which was done by a rather famous artist.
Yet the drive from the center of the city to the main highway would prove to be too challenging on a daily basis.
Both my new friend Cesar and I opted for a hilly region of the city that is far closer to the airport, where the Lear 85 site is located.
He arrived from Los Angeles and this is his first contracting assignment. For me, well it is just another home away from home, and a rather nice one at that.
We’ll make some final decisions tomorrow.
We finished the day at a fellow contractors house for a BBQ and a few beers. It looks to be a great team we have here and we will certainly need it!
Tomorrow the real work begins.
