Living Conditions

Well, I still haven´t started Spanish classes or volunteering or any such stuffs, so I´ll dig up something else to talk about. How about our living conditions here?¿?¿?¿ Since I can´t seem to upload pictures, I´ll just describe it.

Our apartment is right next to our landlady´s home, but separate. We have a small but comfortable living room...well, it would be more comfortable if it wasn´t so hot...so even though it´s really cute, we spend most time upstairs where we have fans. Anyquien, the living room has a TV, a bench, and two chairs. Nothing fancy, but like I said, very cute. Right behind that room is the kitchen. We´re well taken care of here, with three meals a day, so we don´t have to do any cooking. But it´s nice to keep some snacks and cold drinks around, so we have a small fridge which we are very grateful for. Cold drinks in this heat is a mercy. And since we´re a bit concerned about ants and small spiders, we´ve been keeping most of our food in the refrigerator too.

The stairs are very steep, and they lead up to our bedroom. My bed is at the end of the stairs, and is actually a mattress on top of a kind of wooden nook, with shelves on either side. Elizabeth has the cot next to it. We have a small closet, and a table with a mirror next to it. The toilet is in a separate room, but there´s no door, which is a little strange. Then the shower is next to that, again with no door, but behind a wall that you walk behind. If that makes any sense. But never mind if it doesn´t. I´m just filling up space. Anyway, it´s very nice for our purposes, and it´s only about a five minute´s walk to the main park which is fun.

Now don´t get me wrong, because I love the comforts of home, but I have to say there´s something very refocusing about living simply for a little while. And without a ton of responsibilities, you´re kind of forced to unwind. So I´m really looking forward to the next eight weeks. My Spanish is already improving a little too. A very little. Huzzah! And that´s all for now, I guess.

Did ew know...?
It really was a boat. Not a ship.
