Mi Casa.

So one day when Pepita was out doing who knows what I decided to take pictures of the apartment to share with you all.

So I will give you a tour around my temporary home....

This is the kitchen with the microwave sitting on top of the washing machine.

This is from the other side of the kitchen. We have two refrigerators for some reason. I think it is split one is for vegetables and fresh stuff and the is for the meats and cheeses.

Our hallway.
All of the rooms are off of this one hallway including the front door to the elevator.


This is Mandy and my room. We call it the pink princess room because as you can see everything is pink! And for those of you who know we well I don't really like pink....actually I hate pink :) I don't mind though as long it isn't a hot pink I am good.

My bed is on the right and Mandy's is obviously the left one. My bed is a little messy but it isn't too bad. I keep it pretty clean considering it isn't my house.
We also have a chandelier which makes it extra princessy.
This is our wall of mirrors/closets. I really like that we have these mirrors cause not having a full length mirror kind of stinks.
This is our shelves that we keep all of our toiletries on. Unfortunately we have had a few ants crawling around up here but they seemed to have stopped coming around. Thanks goodness I hate ants!

This is our one bathroom with freezing tile floor. It is a big bathroom but I hate taking a shower right now because we have to turn the water off except to rinse our hair and body and it gets really cold. Hopefully it will heat up here so I can actually enjoy my showers a little bit more.

This is half of the main room.



And this is Pepita's bed in the family room. She gives all of the rooms to us students and has a bed and closet behind this curtain in the main room. It is slightly odd but whatever I don't really care cause I have a room.

This is the other half of the family room. It is actually really big. We have two love seats and as of a week ago 2 couches. I don't know where or why she got the other couch but it is nice for when she has lots of people over.
The wifi router is in this room so when it is important for us to have a good internet connection, like for talking on skype, we come in here and use our computers. This is Mandy doing who knows what on her computer. She has a tiny computer so you can't really tell she has it on her lap.

This table is AMAZING!!!! The first time I sat down on the couch Pepita lifted up the table cloth so I could put my legs under it and boy was I surprised. It has a HEATER in it!!! It comes in handy when we are just sitting there emailing and such especially right now when the weather is so cold.

This is the view from our back deck by the kitchen. It is kind of hard to tell but that is the castle behind all of those telephone wires.
This is looking the other direction from that same balcony.
Our laundry hangs out to dry on the edge of the back balcony. It kind of stinks right now because the weather has been cloudy and semi rainy so our clothes have been taking a really long time to get back to us. It is unfortunate but it isn't anything we can change just hope and pray the sun comes out so we have underwear and socks everyday.

SURPRISE!
Look we actually have two bathrooms. I know who would have guessed Pepita was holding out on us! It was funny cause our roommate Receka told us about it. It came in handy when the other toilet wasn't working the other day. I almost wet my pants and then I remembered I could use that bathroom. It is kind of odd because it isn't even inside. You have to go out on the back balcony to get to it.

This is the beautiful back balcony.

And this is our front balcony that I actually didn't even know we had until I was taking pictures of the place. It is kind of small but cute and has an excellent view.

This is the view one way down the street.


And this the other way.

So that is my house for the next four months. It is a pretty spacious place but you can tell an older women lives here (everything is a little actually a lot bit out dated.) I like it a lot though so far. Hope you are having a fantastic week and be happy it is almost friday!!!
