We stayed on the second floor of the Quiet Home (Hogar Quietud, literally
"quiet hearth"), a home for senior citizens who had no family:
There were banana trees in back ...:
... and orange trees in front:
We passed a fountain of pots on the way to our stairs:
The courtyard was to our right as we came in, and it was
also the view from the dining room:
The dining room has some pictures and a certificate from
Pope John Paul II on the wall:
We had a common room:
with inspiration on the walls:
Most stayed in dormitory-style rooms, but
a few got something more private:
We had a porch ...:
... that gave us a view of the grounds (including the pen
of ducks and geese in the front yard) and nearby homes:
Breakfast included "Little Sugars" (the U.S. equivalent
cereal is pretty clear):
