Getting off our hill

Sam,

 

Just sending a series of photos that show the progression leading out of our apartment, so you can begin the trek down the hill into PV

Coming out the apartment door

This leads quite naturally to the front gate

Just be sure to lock it securely going out and coming in. Also lock so key access is facing up. It is a pain when others leave it facing down. Then it is down 38 steps

At the bottom, you have two options: the jungle path to the right

This will take you to the street from which you just follow the winding cobblestones down the Malècon or by taking the first left, you will come to Insurgentes Street, the ATM machine and our favorite hangout, La Fuente del Puente (the Fountain by the Bridge), and you can head into Old Town. Or you can continue straight after the 38 steps and go down 20 more steps

To that same street, but there is a new white bridge that will take you down into a cat-filled park. Go right at the nd of the bridge and you can walk through the park that runs along the Rio Cuale river and at the end of the park you will, again, be at Insurgentes. You can cross the street and continue through the park, fighting you way through various vendors until you come to the mouth of the Cuale as it goes into the sea.

Just wanted to give you a beginning context. More as I think of them
