Today I thought that you might like to take a tour through our home. It is quite average and nothing too impressive. The most interesting part is probably the bathroom. The tank for the toilet is up high and one has to push a button to make it flush.. sometimes it needs pushed more than once before it decides to flush! Also you can see that we have only a shower. It has a faucet down low for filling buckets for mopping, washing sandy feet, etc. All the faucets have one temperature of water and that is a cool warm. It feels cold first thing in the morning. Invigorating!!

All the rooms have nice big ceiling fans like the one in our bedroom. We have one dresser (that’s all we need for 6 weeks), a bed with only a sheet for cover (that’s plenty in this heat!), and up by the ceiling is an airconditioner we use at night. I took a picture of the front and back because it is a little different than an American air-co.
Our dining room is sufficient as is the living room. Notice the louvered windows and tile floors everywhere.

The kitchen holds a rusty refrigerator, that looks better on the inside than the outside. We have a microwave that does what it needs and a toaster oven that I have not tried out yet as well as a gas stove. The burners on the stove work, but I haven’t used the oven. Probably won’t unless it is necessary.

The laundry room is off the kitchen and through the carport. It has a hot water heater that is not working, a dryer that is not working and nice new washing machine that works very well.

In the backyard is the solar dryer. I had clothes on the line yesterday, but not when I took the picture.

And this is the car we drive. So far so good. I have not killed it yet, but am waiting to do so. It has been a long time since I have driven a stick shift.

Tomorrow, I will try to take a walk through town and put up pictures of that. I am sure you will be interested to see a picture of a ‘dremple’.

Added note — The house that we are living in has three bedrooms.
