I am staying in a 4th floor walk up apartment. The image is my view looking west towards the beach a couple blocks away. The apartment has no front door to keep out the rain or mosquitoes (there are really only a couple of mosquitoes once in a while and not bad at all, but the ones they have are big). I said to Sam there is no door; he replied yes no door good, no, yes? Then I found there to be no hot water. I said to Sam there is no hot water, Sam said, “Yes no hot water it has not worked for many years.” I waited for him to say he was going to put in hot water, but he said nothing more about it. I asked Sam, what about hot water? He said. “Yes no hot water.” I asked how about a door; Sam said “Yes no door, no hot water, you like? Very nice place, yes?” and laughed. He said "you talk to Habib about this." I called Habib who told me; yes the hot water had not worked for years. I saw this is getting nowhere so now I take cold showers, and when it rains the floor gets wet in the apartment. All things being equal, the entire 3 bedroom apartment is spacious and very nice they even put up new drapery, even drapes over the doors. My bedroom luckily has an air conditioner, the apt is modestly furnished. All the windows look out to the tops of countless coconut palm trees with a few rooftops seen below, as well as the cross atop the Catholic Church a block away near the beach.
