10 things I absolutely love about where I live!

Well, I was thinking about how important it is to just love life and everything life has to offer. So, what better place than where you live, where your family is, and where home is. 1. Panaderos...the bread is always made fresh and its delivered right to your door in the early morning and at 5:30 to 7:30pm. 2. Costal climate. Its never really unbearable. There isn´t need for heating or air conditioning...cheaper electric bill. 3. Liquid Condiments. Can you just imagine all the freshness of ground garlic or cilantro or fresh salsa at 20 cents. It one of the best and easiest ways to cook fresh. 4. Ventas. Its basically a little one-stop store, but its one every street...not just the busy avenues. They sells all the basics. That means that if you forgot to buy something, don´t you worry you can buy it right next door. 5. Little Doors. Everybody has a main front door, but nobody uses them...they just use little half size doors to go in and out. The big doors are just for looks. 6. Latin dancing. Now I can´t say that I´m all that good at latin dancing, but I sure do like it. Everybody dances here...when there´s a party or birthday you can count on everybody dancing. If you don´t know how do dance you might as well not be social. 7. Pirated Movies. Ok, so maybe occassionally to picture isn´t perfect, but we are talking about movies that are still in theaters and older are for 1.50 soles or 40 cents (dollars). 8. 2 hour lunch break. Lunch is a sacred hour here. Nothing is open between 1-3pm. So, you just get to eat and hang out with the family. 9. Mototaxis. They are basically motorcycles with a lil buggy behind for people to sit. They get you whereever you gotta go. They are a lil bumpy. 10. My husband, Christian. He makes everything worth it. I love him. He makes me smile and laugh and helps me be the "real" me.
