Juarez Doors

It's only Day Four of this working from home stuff and I will tell you it's tougher than I thought it would be. I don't miss leaving the house by 7 a.m., packing a lunch, looking presentable, driving 30 minutes each way, and being part of the herd, but it's really hard to stay on task! A neighbor calls on the phone and I just monitor the machine, but then the doorbell rings and I end up spending 20 minutes with that. Then I need a drink and a little snack before I sit back down again, and a half hour has gone poof! Since I'm paid by logged on time, it's not like I can just walk away at 5:00 p.m. if the number's aren't there. Ugh.

All that being said, I did do the math this morning and figured out yesterday, on a day when I took three hours out in the middle to have lunch with friends, I did actually make a little more working from home. (But I got up at the crack of dawn to do that and worked an hour after dinner so I could put in the time!) I just need to learn to fine art of balance! And with that said, I'd better get busy. Once again, I'm off schedule.

Juarez is one of my favorite streets on Isla. This year, it was a traffic jam during the day, but I did manage to get some photos of doors without getting flattened by a vehicle.




This has always been my favorite house on Juarez, and it's probably the most photographed house on the island.

I think the name plate on this one says Magana, as in Puerto Juarez ferry.

This, of course, has to be the second most photographed dwelling on Juarez. I thought the motorcycle was a nice touch.

This house frequently changes colors. I love this new shade of blue.




Another beautiful shade of blue.

Have you ever heard the expression 'you could walk a dog under that door'? You could walk one under or through this one! I'm betting this casa is vacant!

Now quick like a bunny, I'm off to the shower so I can be perched on my sofa (my new office) by 8 a.m.! I tried working at a desk, but that was just way too uncomfortable and boring! : )
