We made it to SJ :) | Sophie, Sabi & Maru :)

Well over a 6 hour drive thanks to missing the ferry and construction but we made it to SJ! The girls were fantastic and we had a fun ride after Sabs puked up about a jar of peanut butter 2 hours into it. Sophie was puke free this time around and I felt on the verge of puke for about the first hour but somehow after Sabs barfed her brains out it took my entire barf sensation away. Thankfully pb smells exactly the same going out as it does going in. It is also quite sticky and thick so it was a really concentrated puke that just required a change of clothes and wipe down. I would say on the puke front this was the easiest we’ve had so there’s that.

The condo Will found and rented for the month is absolutely killer! It is so perfect for us and I feel so thankful. We all settled in straight away. The views are beautiful, it is spacious, it has a pool, workout room and nice private balcony. The bed is insanely comfortable and everything is super clean. Ugh, big time score!

Our rental car situation was not as ideal. Will went to pick it up yesterday (we were switching from our SUV we drove here to a regular car b/c it was much cheaper for the month and out of no where they told him they needed to charge an extra 600.00 for insurance and something like a 5000 deposit. I have heard about this happening before and thought we might have an issue but it was a really good deal so we gave it a go. Anyway, when they told him what they wanted to charge (aside from the 300.00 for the month) he said um, ok no, and left without a car.

This morning he called our rental car place from Mal Pais and rented our same SUV that he just dropped off yesterday. He is currently picking our car back up now. We rented it until Christmas eve and then may drop it off and not have a car for a week or so since we realized we are in walking distance to so many places and cabs are super cheap. I am actually looking forward to walking everywhere like we did in Italy and it’ll be good to explore more by foot. This week we needed the car so we can get our christmas things, pick up a tree, etc. So i actually think it turned out better that the car was a rip off, just feel bad for the fiasco Will has had to go through renting/not renting/picking up/dropping off, etc.

Here are some pics from our travels here and our arrival to the condo!

Here are some of the condo. It is 2bdrm/2bath. The shower is like a room in itself (i’ll have to take pic). It is so bright in the condo that it is hard to photograph b/c the sun glares. Love that problem!
