Day 155 - 7 February- San Marcos

We woke up quite early as we were still in trek mode but we got up a bit more slowly and in the end left about 9am. We dropped our laundry off at a launderette and went to a cafe to get some breakfast. We had a coffee at this cafe and bakery that could be literally anywhere in the world. There were lots of digital nomad and hipppie like people sitting in the garden. I had an actually very nice sandwich and coffee. Their bread is actually delicious which in a generic ‘boogie cafe’ is not always the case.

There were a couple of people sitting next to us who had a bit of a strange relationship dynamic. There was a woman in a long flowey dress with long blond hair and tattoos on her arms. She was sitting with a couple who were two women, one with cropped bleached hair and the other with the sides of her head shaved and a pony tail that went from the front to the back of her hair. They had a child with them.

It seemed that the blond lady and the couple did not know each other very well and were engaging in small talk. The woman with the shaved sides was discussing ways of making money, since ‘inflation is at 7% so if you are not making 7% return on your investments then you are losing money’ and then claimed to know an investment that guaranteed up to twice that. The blond lady then spoke about wanting to buy around 10 acres and saying that she ‘has always had to hustle for herself and pay her own rent’ as if that was an achievement. She then went on to speak about her recent visit to a fortune teller who saw a financial transaction in her near future and how she was looking to manifest this transaction into being. At this point the child’s father came in who had a shaved back of his head with dreadlocks coming over the front of his head. He was making small talk with the lady with short hair but they did not look very close, which confused me. Although it might have been that they were looking after the child for the guy.

The hippie vibe here seems very late capitalism and less about community and counter culture and more about individualism, hedonism and a desire to live to a specific social media friendly aesthetic. The town is quite expensive and all the buildings and shops seem to be foreign owned with indigenous workers. I saw a woman wearing a white vail and dress like the Virgin Mary and people walk round the town barefoot, even though it is covered in dog shit. It really is a hell hole.

After we had breakfast we came back and sat in the apartment for a long time pretty tired just kind of resting. At 1pm we went to do some shopping and collect our laundry, buying some fresh tortillas, some cheese and other things for dinner. We then went for a walk, looking for a nice path along the river but because access to the shore is mostly private due to people buying lakeside properties and because it was sheer cliffs to the beach we didn’t get very far. We had a dog who followed us round for a bit but we managed to ditch him when we did find the only bit of public shore we could walk along, which was only a couple of hundred meters.

We then went for a drink in this pretty mid garden restaurant. I had a salty lime drink which was okay but the nachos I ordered took ages. All card payments seem to have at least a 6% surcharge on them, and all bank withdrawals the same which is very annoying. I then went and looked for a transfer to Antigua we could book and to get a couple of beers.

We then made our food and watched the 6 nations highlights and went to bed early still tired! But before we went to sleep we got a text from the Cleveland 4 seeing if we wanted to go for a walk in another town the next day, which we arranged to do!

Day 156 - 8 February- San Marcos

We got up and had some coffee we had bought the day before, which was grown and roasted around the town which has to be the most local cup of coffee I have ever drunk. We went for breakfast in the same place as the day before, they had a slightly different sandwich menu today and we both got this one which was in a roll that seemed half bread, half pretzel, half croissant which was tasty. I really can’t get over how good the bread is there for such a vacuous town!

We got the boat to Pannachel which was about half an hour as it stopped at little villages along the way. It was quite choppy on the water and the driver went pretty quick in the fiberglass boat so there was lots of thuds after every wave. We moved from the front to the back and I protected my shoulder (which was feeling much better) as best as I could. We had a little drink as we were a bit early and met up with Audrey (a girl from the trek) and the Cleveland Four!

We went for a walk along the road to the next town, which was supposed to be a hike but there was evidently the same issue as in San Marcos, where the lake shore was owned. We made pretty quick time and got to the next town called Santa Caterina Palopo. We went to museum that was run by a small family which showed some of the traditional items like their textiles but they also had a replica of what a sitting room would have looked like in the 20th century. Audrey played a traditional Mayan dice game with the child from the family, but the dice were 6 beans which had a single white spot, which collectively gave the number based on the number of white side up beans were rolled.

We walked round the town a bit but then took a tuk tuk back to Pana and went to get some food along the shore in this small trailer. We had some delicious drinks, I had a sin alcohol granadilla - (some mix of passion fruit and orange which I had never seen before) drink which was delicious. We also had this beautiful aguachilie type thing with different veg in it.

We walked around for a bit after and then said goodbye to the Cleveland Four who were going back to the states and got the the boat back with Audrey. It was a really nice day, everyone is super nice and we just had a great day chatting.

When we got back to purgatory we went back to the same place we had been on the first day and got a lasagna again. The owner has a Rottweiler who walks around the restaurant, and about halfway through our meal, a lady and her Chihuahua came in. The interactions between the two dogs was insane due to the sheer size difference. I kept thinking the big boy was going to eat the little guy in one bite, but the big boy was pretty chill and just minded his own business.

We went home and watched fa cup highlights with our other beer. We went to sleep early again.

Day 157 - 9 February- San Marcos

We woke up and packed and left the airbnb after having a couple of cups of coffee. We went to the bakery for breakfast again. This time I had a focaccia which was really nice. The lady with the shaved sides of her head was there again with her partner, they were reading a book called, The Bitcoin Manual which struck me as quite funny, that a ‘currency’ that is completely virtual and online has a physical book. I cant imagine it really needs to be a book and thinking you can read a book some random guy has written as a get rich quick scheme about how to invest in a get rich quick scheme seemed quite illustrative of the place.

We got on our transfer and which twisted and turned round he steep roads around the lake. We got to our Airbnb and checked in.

I went to get food from the supermarket while Nina dozed. On the way I bumped into an acquaintance from college who was randomly travelling here. When I got back, nin was incredulous that the meal I had brought back was bland and too small so I was sent back to jazz up the meal. Back at the shop I saw the gap year boys from the bus to Xela.

We then had the dinner (which then passed the Nin test) and we watched the Super Bowl. I still think that it’s not a good game although it’s good the Chiefs didn’t win.

Day 160 - 10 February- Antigua de Guatemala

We got up and went to our walking tour. We learned a few factoids, like Antigua is actually third place of capital, which was subsequently moved to Guatemala City, Antigua Guatemala means old Guatemala!

There are 22 Mayan languages spoken in the country (we also learnt this on the trek). There was chat about syncretism of local religions and Catholicism. There was a really annoying Dutch woman who kept taking pictures of local women without asking, which we really should have said something to her, but we overheard her friend saying they were doing our trek where they will definitely be told not to do it!

Apparently 12 rich Guatemala families control most of the food industry with that obviously have a lot of political influence. This is particularly true with the sugar industry.

Guatemala also has three independence days:

- 1821 - Independence from Spain

- 1823 - Independence from Mexico

- 1843 - Independence from United provinces of Central America

If you want to paint your house, you need to choose from a colour palette from unesco. Coke Cola put cables underground in the ritzy part of town so they don’t fall over in earthquakes and in exchange they got their logo on lamp posts and a massive tax break (which is quite concerning). The other mad thing they did was get rid of their post service so you can only use companies like UPS or DHL and they don’t sell stamps in the whole country!

We came back to the hotel and regrouped and Nina then went to the gym and I went to the barber for a haircut and beard trim.

The place was really classic and the guy was an old fella who was very friendly and who took my very basic directions and freestyled it. I was the same height as him in the chair so he was reaching to get the top of my head. I was very happy with the outcome!

I walked round the town looking at different shops. We then met back at the hotel before going to this restaurant I had seen online. It looked like it was in an old house and we sat beside this swimming pool that had been filled with flower petals. It feels like quite a fancy place but where people from Antigua come.

Day 161 - 11 February- Antigua de Guatemala

We got picked up at 6 for our tour to Volcan Pacaya. We stopped in a few different places before leaving the town and driving to the volcano.

Went through a big town called San Maria de Jesus that seems like the town the local people live in near Antigua. We eventually got to the trail head and picked up our guides and started walking.

We stopped a bit up the trail and were shown a geothermal energy station that had been built in partnership with Isreal. Although the walk is advertised as being very easy and child friendly it was quite steep. There was a friendly Canadian man with his child in a sling on his back who had to let her down at each stop ‘to stretch her legs’.

We got to the top of the trail which comes up at the top of an old crater and just above the last lava flows from 2021. We took a few pics and then went down to the lava fields where there are a few vents that emit hot air. The tour guides then gave us some marshmallows that are stuck in the vents and melted! They were actually really melted although the heat wasn’t very intense from them. We then walked back to the bus and went back to Antigua.

In the afternoon we walked around looking at the odd shop and then went to this really nice bar / restaurant in what must have been an old rich persons house with a courtyard where we sat. We had a couple of drinks and a delicious falafel wrap and some very tasty crocette. We then went home and packed and went to bed early before our 3am wake up!

Day 162 - 12 February- Antigua de Guatemala > Flores

We got up brutally early, and did the final bit of packing and getting ready. Our bus arrived at ten to three and we got on and were on our way quite quickly as thankfully our quite big bus had only 6 passengers.

Getting close to Guatemala City, there was still quite a lot of traffic at 4.30 I imagine this is because the traffic is so bad people get up to avoid it and that some people commute quite far to go to work in the city.

At about 12, crossing the Rio Dulce, the bus stopped and we got in a new bus with a slightly different cast of characters.

As we got out of the highlands and into the lower land countryside, the land looked like Jungle that has been turned to pasture but with fits and spurts of very thick jungle. There was the odd mono culture forest in certain places. You could see in places it was like a karst landscape with hills and then some fields, it looked like a more lush west of Ireland.

You could see some palm plantations which I assume is for palm oil but not completely monoculture which was nice to see. With the different pasture fields and copses, I found myself thinking of the landscape in Wales in the valleys near Hergest plus palm and banana trees scattered around.

We arrived in Flores which is on an island in a lake quite near the Belize border. It is incredibly picturesque and has lots of old timey houses painted in pastel colours. We went to our hotel, checked in and then went for a walk around the island (which took 29 minutes at most). After that I went for a run around the island 3 times which was my first run since popping the shoulder. It was generally fine and I think will get better as it gets back to normal, although I think I definitely want to get it sorted when I get home.

We then went to a restaurant on the lake edge and had delicious aguachillie and then I had these strange but tasty dumpling things. The lake seems very high and has started to take gardens and a few streets into its murky fingers. It occasionally splashed up near where we were sitting. We then went to bed early again because of another early start!

Day 163 - 13 February- Flores (Tikal)

Guatemala needs to chill out with its start times, luckily our sleep patterns have changed and we managed to get a bit of sleep! We woke up at 6 for a 7 start to go to the Mayan ruins of Tikal. We picked this random guy up on the way who had flown in for the day to see them. He seemed very unprepared and hadn’t eaten and had half a bottle of water. Our driver was talking to us in Spanish and we were worried that our tour would just be him speaking. Luckily we got to the hotel that was the sister of our hotel where our guide was.

Tikal is amazing, it is these Mayan ruins in the middle of thick jungle that seems relatively unspoiled. Tikal means the place of voices, due to the acoustics in the plazas.

We saw a Toucan right by the hotel which was beautiful and as an Irish man very culturally significant for me! We then saw a family of howler moneys howling at another male. The howl was terrifying, like a jaguar or other big cat (or Chibacca?!) growling at the top of its lungs.

We then came to the first pyramids, one was half excavated and the other was un excavated and looked like a small very steep hill. These pyramids were used to calculate time. Apparently the Mayans counted in 20 the way metric people use 10 as it was the number of their fingers and toes, they also were the first people to know about the concept of zero, before even the Greeks (a fact I remember from an xmen episode years ago).

Most pyramids are still un excavated and will likely stay that way due to the cost of excavation and also due to these pyramids now being ecosystems with large trees on them.

Nearly everything known about the Maya is know from excavation and interpretation from what is found since all the Maya codexes were destroyed by the conquistadors. They have found paintings and ceramics which detailed practices like processions.

There were strangler fig trees everywhere which I think are the same as banyan trees (definitely the same subgenus). We then went to this absolutely huge pyramid that is basically not excavated except for its top sticking out of the tree canopy. There was a wooden staircase up the side which we climbed. This temple is so big it apparently ruined the economy of Tikal and sent it into permanent decline. It was so big and there were so many trees on it, that I had trouble comprehending how big it was.

We went to a couple of other pyramids, which were the oldest in the complex before we went to the main structure and square which was basically fully excavated.

The acoustics made it easy to hear each other, I called down at Nin from one structure and she heard me fine. The section consisted of:

- An acropolis

- Necropolis

- 2 temples

One of the temples, funeral buildings no. 1 had 9 platforms, the number related to god of underworld and had a ball court next to it where they played the Mayan ball game. 6 1/2 pounds of jade were found in a burial chamber when it was excavated. Some buildings are built on top of each other.

The whole area in the forum has soil pounded so hard that roots not able to break soil and grow on the surface. We saw a troop of Quatimundi, who are these fun lemur/raccoon things.

Our guide told us about the Maya creation myth where there was just water and 3 gods come together and lay stones in a triangle shape (somehow related to Arian’s belt) which created the corn and humans subsequently from the corn.

We also went past these ruined temezcal that were used for purification before rituals. After that we walked back.

We had lunch at the hotel in Tikal and then got the transfer back to Flores. On the bus we talked to this very chatty couple, the lady Brazilian and the guy Argentine, but who lived in the states.

When we got back to the hotel we chilled out a bit and then went for a drink in this hostel garden. The end of the garden had been taken by the lake, which I guess shows how high the lake has gotten. After that we went and looked for a place to eat but ended up going to the same place as the night before (but ordering slightly less!). We then packed and went to bed.

Property Management in San Marcos

property Management in San Marcos: Key Considerations for Success

San Marcos, with its vibrant community and growing real estate market, requires tailored property management strategies to ensure successful operations. Here’s a comprehensive guide to managing rental properties effectively in San Marcos:

1. Understand the Local Market

Grasping the nuances of San Marcos’s real estate market is essential for effective property management.

Tips:

- Market Research: Keep up-to-date with local rental rates, property values, and demand trends.

- Neighborhood Insights: Familiarize yourself with the amenities, schools, and attractions that make San Marcos appealing to renters.

- Competitive Analysis: Compare your property to similar rentals in the area to set competitive pricing and attract tenants.

2. Effective Tenant Screening

Screening tenants thoroughly helps ensure reliability and reduces potential issues.

Tips:

- Credit and Background Checks: Implement comprehensive checks to evaluate financial responsibility and criminal background.

- Income Verification: Require that tenants have a stable income, typically 2.5 to 3 times the rent amount, and verify through pay stubs or employment letters.

- Rental History: Contact previous landlords to confirm a tenant’s history of timely payments and property care.

3. Maintenance and Upkeep

Regular maintenance is crucial for preserving property value and tenant satisfaction.

Tips:

- Routine Inspections: Schedule regular inspections to identify and address issues before they become major problems.

- Prompt Repairs: Respond quickly to maintenance requests and prioritize urgent repairs to ensure tenant comfort and safety.

- Seasonal Upkeep: Conduct seasonal maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and servicing HVAC systems, to prevent issues related to weather changes.

4. Marketing Your Property

Effective marketing attracts quality tenants and minimizes vacancy periods.

Tips:

- High-Quality Listings: Create detailed and appealing property listings with high-resolution photos and accurate descriptions.

- Online Platforms: Utilize online rental platforms and social media to reach a wider audience.

- Local Advertising: Consider local advertising methods, such as community bulletin boards or local real estate offices, to attract local renters.

5. Lease Agreements

Clear and legally sound lease agreements protect both you and your tenants.

Tips:

- Comprehensive Terms: Include detailed terms on rent amount, payment schedules, maintenance responsibilities, and property rules.

- Legal Compliance: Ensure the lease complies with California rental laws and regulations.

- Clear Communication: Explain all lease terms and conditions to tenants before signing to avoid misunderstandings.

6. Rent Collection

Efficient rent collection processes help maintain a steady cash flow.

Tips:

- Flexible Payment Methods: Offer multiple payment options, such as online payments, checks, and bank transfers.

- Timely Reminders: Send reminders before the rent due date and follow up promptly on any overdue payments.

- Late Fee Policies: Implement and enforce clear late fee policies as outlined in the lease agreement.

7. Tenant Relations

Building positive relationships with tenants contributes to a successful rental experience.

Tips:

- Open Communication: Maintain open and responsive communication channels with tenants for handling requests and addressing concerns.

- Respect Privacy: Adhere to privacy laws and provide proper notice before entering the property for inspections or repairs.

- Tenant Satisfaction: Regularly check in with tenants to ensure their needs are met and address any issues promptly.

8. Financial Management

Effective financial management ensures the profitability and sustainability of your rental property.

Tips:

- Budgeting: Develop and manage a budget for property expenses, including maintenance, utilities, and management fees.

- Financial Reporting: Regularly review financial reports to track income, expenses, and overall profitability.

- Tax Considerations: Keep accurate records for tax purposes and consult with a tax professional for advice on deductions and compliance.

By focusing on these aspects of property management, you can effectively manage rental properties in San Marcos, ensuring tenant satisfaction, maintaining property value, and achieving a successful rental experience.

The Buccaneer Lodge

Most tourists visiting the St. Augustine Alligator Farm pay little notice to the narrow, tree-lined road they use to get to the attraction’s parking lots. A short drive down that road will introduce you to one of the most interesting neighborhoods on Anastasia Island. Old Quarry Road - as it is called today - was first used by the spanish to drag large blocks of coquina from the quarry located near the present-day amphitheater to Quarry Creek. From there the blocks were loaded on barges and floated across the bay for use in the construction of the Castillo de San Marcos.

Centries later - in May 1917 - Alfred Day bought a parcel described as:

Beginning at Quarry Creek, highwater mark, run thence along old Light House Road, 222 feet, thence northwest to land of Hite, 190 feet, thence west to marsh, thence along marsh, 350 feet to point of beginning.

He built a house looking out over Quarry Creek and the marsh surrounding it. The three-story house was large with wide eaves and wrap-around porches to shade the rooms on the lower floor. The construction used local resources - coquina for the foundation, heart pine and cypress for framing, cedar shingles for siding and palm tree trunks as pillars to support the porch. It had 12-foot ceilings and each room had windows on at least two walls to best catch the sea breezes. The house was built for summer comfort. The only heat consisted to two fireplaces and later a floor furnace located in the living room. The property was bordered on the north and east sides by the Heckscher estate with woods to the south.

In 1940, the estate of Alfred Day’s widow sold the property to Adolph Bittner. Mr. Bittner created the Buccaneer Lodge in the house and managed it until October 1952 when he sold to William and Marjorie Barrett, my parents, and moved back to Germany. I’ve tried to get more information about “the Lodge period” but haven’t found much yet. Although many locals from my parents’ generation remember it for luncheons and private parties, city directories during that period don’t mention it.

At some point during the time Mr. Bittner owned the property, “old Light House Road” became Young Avenue and was extended across the marsh to connect with Coquina Avenue. Quarry Creek was only a trickle of water at our end and was no longer used to define the property line. There were four other homes on Youn Avenue with lots of woods and marsh to keep children occupied. We had plenty of wildlife - raccoons and armadillos, owls, wild pigs and even an occasional alligator.

For several years our only source of water came from an artesian well located on the property behind us. Because this was “sulfa” water, we had the Culligan man visiting frequently to replenish the water softener. There was a cistern under the house and at one time the gutters emptied into it. On the back porch a hand pump was used to draw water from the cistern. I’m sure before there was such a thing as water-softening, the rainwater was put to good use.

The house’s large porches served many purposes. Grandma’s wicker furniture - with a little help from some old sheets - became castles or forts on rainy days. Many a production was staged on the porch including the magic show where my cousin and I were going to saw my sister in half. Fortunately for her, Mom decided to check just what it was we were planning to do with that saw. It was also a great place for birthday parties and other noisy functions.

Many of my memories of that house have to do with sounds. You knew it was getting close to dinner time when the National Guard fired their cannon at retreat. I remember laying in bed in the early morning stillness listening to the shrimp boats. I could hear them motor from their docks on the San Sebastian River, up the bay, through the draw at the Bridge of Lions and on until they passed the old Spanish fort and turned to head out the inlet.

Of course there were lots of animal sounds. From the alligator farm came the rumbles and moans of the alligators during mating season and the screams of the peacocks. The raccoons were always arguing with each other out in the marsh and the marsh hens frequently added their voices to the conversation.

In the background to all of this was the sound of the surf. Once the traffic and other noise of the day settled down, the surf was always there.

At one point, the city dug up the street to install sewer lines supporting new home development. Under the old live oak just outside our driveway gate the construction crew discovered the bones of two Indians. Since Indians had been involved in the quarry operations during the fort construction and signs of an Indian Village were found just behind the Alligator Farm, it wasn’t surprising to find Indian remains in the area. Then someone happened to remember a story about a pirate - I can’t remember which one - who was coming to see the governor of Florida about some kind of amnesty deal. This pirate expected a double-cross so, according to the story, he buried his treasure on the south side of a live oak tree on Anastasia Island then killed and buried his two Indian servants with it. That announcement brought out every metal detector and shovel for a 10-mile radius - keeping the neighborhood in chaos for weeks. Of course, there was no treasure - just a lot of disappointed treasure hunters.

We weathered many storms in that house. Most hurricanes came from the Gulf and had lost much of their punch by the time they got here. Flooding was the biggest concern so our house - built with a high crawl-space - was the logical place for friends and neighbors with houses built on slab foundations. This worked well until Dora came to visit in 1964. Because Dora was coming at us directly from the Atlantic, Mom decided to head inland for this one. Although the house was not damaged, we lost several trees on the property - one just missing the porch.

I left home when I enlisted with the Air Force in 1972, returning for holidays and vacations. One Christmas holiday included my sister’s wedding. The reception was to be held at the house so you can imagine the work that went into getting it ready. I spent most of that vacation polishing brass doorknobs and silver trays along with anything else that could be scrubbed. The wedding was beautiful and the house looked glorious.

Soon after, the city renamed Young Avenue to Old Quarry Road. For years they had tried to pave the road, but to meet code they would have to cut many of the old oaks and cedars that lined it. The residents fought hard to keep the trees. Finally a code exception was granted allowing the road to be paved while leaving the trees. Fortunately most of the character of the old road is still intact.

Mom died in 1983 and we sold the house soon after. Several years later the new owner made a deal to use the house in a movie. The movie - Illegally Yours - never made it to movie theaters but still occasionally shows up on late-night television. The old kindergarten classroom figured prominently as the family kitchen. My husband and I were in Germany when it was finally released and someone sent us a home-made video copy of the movie. Somehow, during its journey to us, the tape lost all its audio. Didn’t matter - it meant less distraction as we looked for local landmarks and friends performing as extras.

The house has been sold several more times and each new owner has worked to restore it. The classroom is gone and the porches returned to their original glory. The yard has been beautifully landscaped. We’ve gone back once - when it was featured in a Christmas tour of homes several years ago. It was a delightful visit.

We enjoyed an enchanted childhood in a glorious old house built for family living in a world that no longer exists. Who in their right mind would allow children to roam the woods, marshes and roads unsupervised day after day? Can you imagine a scenario today where five neighborhood children - all with the measles - are camped out in one house while they recuperate? Cellphones? Our parents got us headed home by ringing the bell outside the back door. Each family’s bell had a distinctive clang.

The house still thrives, but it is no longer the home of our childhood. That world may be gone, but today each of our homes includes the essence that made the big house so special.

It’s called family.
