Home at Last!


Welcome to my home sweet home! It has taken me longer than expected to post photos of my new, and might I say, wonderful, apartment; But it has taken me longer than expected to get myself settled into my place...December is a busy time to move!!!!!! As you can see above I have a cozy little kitchen nook with just about everything a girl could ask for (minus an oven...working on getting a campo oven set up! even though I live in the city! ha ha) Below is the paseo to the rest of the apartment (it´s a small little rectangular, my apartment!) but not the terraza outside! Thats right, a streetside balcony. I am looking into some hanging hammock chairs...but I might never go to work if I have those...all lies! But I really think it might be a necessary and cozy splurge for my apartment!


Here you´ve got the "sala" where I read and work, and my amazing built in bookshelf which I fear will always look a jumbled mess!


My simple little baƱo! It serves me well and has a nice big shower with questionable pressure! ha ha!

and my bedroom...my bed is the best investment I made. A girl has got to have someplace comfy to sleep...especially after sleeping on a piece of foam over unforgiving wooden slats in Madagascar! And below here, we have my closet! Holler! I just bought the shelving this week which moved all of my close off the floor and into the, well, closet. Finally!

Bahia de Caraquez is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cities and beaches in Ecuador. Enjoy your stay.

I should have figured there would be a lot of PINK clothes in your closet! Looks like you're having fun and truly helping the people you are serving. Keep up the good work.

Whoa! Nice work with the shelves and closet organization!

PS The little basket type vessels seem to be serving their purpose very well!
