Our first blog posting!

Welcome!
We decided to create a blog so you could follow along as we progress with our holiday home in Tepoztlan (from now on know as Tepoz).
We've actually got some blog catching-up to do since we started looking for property over a year ago and decided on this lot in the Spring of 2011.
These first blogs are going to come fast and furious (well, I'm not sure - it took me an hour to figure out how to change the background image on the template!)
For those of you who know Tepoz, we are, as you can see, right up against the cliff edge.  A little further out from the village than before but still within walking distance.

This is what the lot looked like about this time last year.
This shot is from the upper corner (the lot slopes a bit).
We go all the way to the two trees and low stone wall
and a bit more to the right.

This is looking in the other direction.

The lot plan (the squarish thing near the bottom).
We are in a private compound which we share with 7 neighbours.
Right now there is only one neighbouring house (to the left of our lot).
The land on the top of the plan (looking towards the cliff in the picture above)
 is government protected which means our view will never be obstructed.
Across the lane - to the right -  is a greenhouse for fancy lettuce!
The lot is 1300 square meters (about a third of an acre).

This picture doesn't do it justice but as the sun sets the cliffs are
bathed in a golden light.
