It starts getting hot in June, there may be some rain, and guaranteed there will be mosquitos. I may still have some garden veggies, but once it gets hot, it's hard to grow food. The humidity creates lots of viruses, funguses, etc. The only animal I have is a cat. The ocean is 3 km. away and I've got bikes to use. I can give you a room to stay in and I'll pay for basic food. I have a 2 week maximum stay. Let me know if you have more questions or if this sounds of interest to you. You can write me at: casaamistad@hotmail.com
Thanks, dobie
