Black Rock Mountain climbing to be precise. For some reason, I got it in my head to lead the Friday hiking group on an 8k journey over Black Rock then around and about back to Barretto. The excitement, such as it was, came with the trek down over a sometimes slippery rock surface. Made it without a scratch so that’s my accomplishment for the day.
I also took these photos:
Feel free to Relive the hike here:
That’s my day so far. Later on, I’ll chuck some darts and see where they land. Hopefully on target some of the time.
See you tomorrow!
Looks to have been a nice hike. I appreciate the photos!
Yeah, I am not sure why anyone would buy property in a foreign country. Like you, I have heard plenty of stories – especially in Thailand, where foreigners are not allowed to own property, so put it in their wife’s/significant others name, and the rest is history!
(Edit to add: foreigners can get a 99 year lease on condos (basically the same as owning, but there are some restrictions), but even that option is not available for free standing houses)
It’s the same here, Brian. Foreigners can not own land, so condos are one option. Lots of foreigners do the long-term lease thing and some get creative with the way it is structured to make it tantamount to ownership. Regardless, the horror stories of buying property in the wife’s name are legion. In the worse cases, the husband dies in an unfortunate accident. Others are like the sad old man pictured in this post ranting and raving on the street. Nope, not gonna happen to me.
