Rafa, our new Kitty!!Before going into the more exciting part of the blog (scroll down if you just can't wait for Cute Overload-worthy photos) we moved into a new apartment over the summer, and boy do we like it!
It may not be as fancy or bright as our first apartment which we definitely definitely miss, but it has several benefits that make it worth the move:
- It is on the ground floor, diminishing the constant shaking feeling from any and all earthquakes!
- It is in a safer area of the zone we live in, and there is even a neighborhood watch! This is not your typical small-town watch, either. There are guys with guns who drive around on motorcycles and stand on street corners to make sure everything stays safe. Nice!
- We have a patio that we can hang out on!
- It came with three incredibly comfortable couches that beg you to be lazy :)
- Rent is lower here, so we are able to save some money as well.

Second (and much more importantly) we temporarily adopted a kitten! He is from our friend Patricia's friend, Manolo, and we got him when he was only 4 weeks old. He's so small and adorable, and we have certainly missed the companionship of a pet. We are pretty sure we are going to name him Rafael ("Rafa" for short) after our favorite tennis player, the Spanish Rafael Nadal. We like the name also because when we call his name we get to roll our R's -- "Rrrrrrrrrrafa!"
