According to Fabian the fire was large, maybe 20 hectares or so. He said the firefighters took one full hour to show up with a little pump truck good for a "shower", a motorcycle and a pick-up truck.
He says "Now it truly is Punta Negra" (Black Point). Apparently a couple of houses were saved in the nick of time, because the fire was upon them when the firefighters arrived. Mostly a big brush fire he said, not forest like I feared, but he said it was still going on in the inland areas, further away from the sea. It is very depressing. I´ve spent all summer in Turkey were fires are dime a dozen and it never ceases to depress me for days...
Now, on to cheerier subjects: finally a view from the living-room towards the sea. For some reason I wasn't getting pictures taken from the inside looking towards the ocean, and it was making me claustrophobic...
Blankets decor by the construction workers I guess...
The kitchen cabinetry takes shape... they look tiny because the ceiling is so high, they are actually quite big, almost 5 meters across (about 20 feet) and pretty deep also, but high ceiling throws off the scale...
