It was a full day in South America and Sunol, and per the blog, in Shakopee too. Perhaps a big day for a twosome in Texas? Or are my dates off ?
As told below, Bill and Zach have checked out the real estate in Machu Pichu, as well as other sites per their itinerary. They have more sights to go, such as Lake Titicaca, before their return October 16. Zach will celebrate his birthday in Peru, hoping to dine on guinea pig, the national dish.
Meanwhile, the crowbar and Sawzall are busy uncovering and demolishing more, more, and more rot here at home in Sunol. Aw, the work of rain, shade, more rain, time, and bugs. Best get it all out before Bill comes home so we can spare him the angst. In my mind, it is not all bad. When we finally level things to "below rot," behold, we have a blank slate, upon which we can draw new designs more to our (well, mine, anyway) liking. A new curtained hammock area, wider kitchen decking, and open copper stair railing are on their way!
We are having way-too-warm weather for October, but hope for a second rain next week. The Shearer household has done marvelously well in reducing water consumption, getting a 50 percent reduction where only a 25 percent reduction was required. Sure we have a lot of dead plants, but mostly we owe our success to our secret weapon: Taking showers in Minnesota and Ohio. Thank you for your help in our endeavors!

And now we are completely exhausted. It was a very long day!
Tried looking this place up on Zillow. No info. But I can tell you it's a big spread, lots of curb appeal, and the nasty neighbors are long gone. What the hell I'll put in an offer...apparently the asking price is three coca leaves (I may have misunderstood the guides lecture).
