Let’s see, what should we name our taxi company?

Scorpion? Shark? Both sound cozy and inviting.

You know how people with expensive cars sometimes take two spaces so people’s doors won’t bang into them?

Welcome to Uruguay.

Rebuilding a cheap door

Preparing to put new veneer on bathroom door. Fist holes courtesy of male son, years ago. Required every clamp I own.

Another abandoned boardwalk through the dunes.

Preserving the dunes…sort of.

1) They actually added a proper handrail after

2) the original, tacked to the deck, fell apart and was carted off, presumably for firewood.

3) Another walk two years after they build it through an eroded portion of the dunes (to save the dunes, natch).

4) The same, 2-½ years later.
