Making Waves

In case you've missed it (and, yes, some people have), we're moving. The pipes burst in our Sevilla apartment in December. It took more than three weeks for 12 damaged pipes (really no more than hoses) to be replaced. By that time, permanent damage was done. The water heater has no thermostatic control (which we think is what caused the problem in the first place), so we have to unplug between uses or the water boils. Added to that our own "vertical garden" of mold growth along with damaged walls, ceilings and floors, and the once-elegant apartment is not very pleasant at this point. We had planned a move to the beach for late in the year or early next. But these headaches made us decide to move things up. So, in just a little over two weeks, we will be living on the Mediterranean Sea.

LOOKING FROM THE HALL OFF THE BEDROOMS BACK TO THE ENTRY.

The most recent entertainment in the current apartment is the new skateboard park. Who knew you could create one (without even trying) from wood-laminate flooring? We're practicing for our new life by the sea by surfing the waves of our apartment.

GREAT FOR PRACTICING SKI JUMPS, TOO..

DUDO DOESN'T QUITE "GET" OUR SURREAL FLOORS.

WAVES WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. OUR BEACH AS I WALKED IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO..
