Pictures of the New Casa – Part 1

This is the gate that keeps everyone outside of the area of our house. Please also note all the wires that bring us power and all sorts of other fun things.

And, this is what you see if you open the gate and walk down a bit. At the end of this Privada, beside that car that's exiting, there is also another gate guarded by a man in uniform who will take your ID if you try to enter.

Rosy shows everyone where we put our garbage for pick up. And, no, that's not our garbage – the spot is shared by a bunch of people. Note La Panza.

If you go back and look at the first picture, then turn 90 degrees to the right, this is what you'll see – our Fraccioniamente (I'm sure I've spelled it wrong). There's about 7 or 8 houses here. Ours is the brown one on the left.

And, this is where we would park our car, if we had one. But we don't. So, usually it's empty. But, sometimes Rosy's Mom's car is there. Also here, behind Rosy, is the entrance to the house.

We have a back yard! This is the side gate entrance to the back yard. Sorry, you'll have to wait until another time to see the back yard.

And, here is that entrance that I mentioned. Ooooh, if you look far enough, you can see a peak of the back yard, through the living room. I'm hoping to play checkers on my tiled floor someday.

This is el baño on the main floor. In the last picture, you can sort of see the entrance to it, on the right. Yep, it's maroon coloured, or in Spanish, vino.

Here's the kitchen! It's directly opposite of the bathroom. Note the fridge - more on that in a moment - and the dining room on the right.

This is that fridge - refri - that I was talking about a while ago. Apparently, fridges aren't included in rented places. I totally assumed they were, and, thus, was quite surprised when I had to find a fridge. Found one relatively quickly at a good price, but, when Rosy and I went to measure the space, it was 2 cms too big! This resulted in a significant amount of time looking for a fridge that wasn't knee-high to a grasshopper. We eventually found one - this is it!!

This is the rest of the kitchen. The stove has 6 elements! The search for the Porta Garrafon - the thing the water is sitting on - was almost as epic as the search for the fridge... almost.

Through the kitchen window, you can see the servant's quarter's. You might be lucky enough to stay in there some day - there's even room enough in there for a small bed.

Yep, we can see Volcanoes from our home! It's hiding behind the water tank on top of that house there.
