The other day I was talking about the heavy winds here, so I figured I’d include a couple more pictures, now that the gusts have died down a bit:

This is our new house, from way in the back. I actually took this picture from the neighbor’s property, which currently is empty. This is the tree that was blocking our view of the Gulf of Nicoya anyhow, so when it blew over, we didn’t shed too many tears. Plus, it landed exactly on the property line, which is perfect. Before the tree fell, all sorts of dogs and hicks were coming through our property, and now the branches have helped seal it off a bit more.

When viewed from above, though, you can see that the garage and part of the house were knocked over or blown away, but a lot of the house’s actual structure remained. As I said in the previous post, it was really lucky that no one was living there at the time.
Anyhow, that’s it for now. But trust me, the wind is dying down, so you should still come visit!
