A trip to the Hacienda would not be complete without a little project or two. I have always considered this part of the adult unstructured play that makes a visit so much fun and rewarding. In addition to the purchase of 15 avocado trees for our growing orchard I was able to start painting and decorating the workout station on the front deck, familiarly known as the Tower of Power. It should lend additional interest to the house as well as provide an ocasional opportunity for a little healthy exercise and competition. Eventually its posts will remind visitors that if there is a will there is a way in 8 languages. TheĀ German and the Spanish have already been stenciled onto the brown posts. Once it is all carved and painted it should be a very interesting addition to the landscape of the property.
