This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Photos of the Apartment

Approaching the apartment at end

Here are some photos of the apartment and some of our neighboring birds. 

The large Tamarind Tree is in flower and there is a resident hummingbird. Although we have seen up to three hummingbirds in the tree, one pair appears to have assumed ownership  and individually they chase the intruders away. One morning this led to a fleeing hummingbird flying right through the apartment - in the entrance door, up too high so it was blockred by the room divider, then down and out the balcony door at the other side. They are very fast in full flight but can brake rapidly too. A continuing challenge for us is to capture the perfect hummingbird photo. Three of the attempts are below. Robert also took a photo of a White-winged Dove relaxing in the tree. The woodpecker photos were also taken from our door when the woodpecker was investigating the old barbeque. Then it hopped up a sheer concrete wall with no apparent footholds.
