first two weeks: The Place...

So before we even got here, Jordan found a great place for us to live during the 8 months... 

That white door there is the entrance to our apartment... which is upstairs by the way. If you look up you can see a white kid sitting up on the balcony...
But so far, the place is safe and comfortable.
It has 3 bedrooms, each has its own bathroom, fully furnished, cable and TV, kitchen and living room, and that balcony... so its got more than enough.  Very awesome.

Here's some pics of the inside so you get an idea:

Here's the common area and the kitchen.  My room is the first door on the right and Phil's is the last door on the left.  I'm glad we have a table... table's are nice.  I'm only saying that because my last time in Nica, Jordan decided to use his lap to eat and I ended up making a table out of a door... but now it's a different situation... a way better one.

This is the living room. It has couches.  It has TV's.  It has Wifi's......yay

This is the balcony.  It's a nice place to relax and play guitar... only problem is that a motorcycle repair shop is right across the street and they can get pretty loud, but they're cool...
One day I was playing guitar and harmonica on the balcony and the guys started singing the Beatles song "Yesterday" out of nowhere after listening to my guitar... it was pretty hysterical.  So I'm gonna learn some Beatles one of these days and play them on the balcony. 

Another thing I noticed after being on the balcony is that people here never ever look up.  It the funniest thing.  I guess 'cuz there's not a lot of second story buildings here, but you can creep on people below forever and never be seen it's amazing... well, until I start playing the harmonica/guitar, then people drop everything they're doing and just stare for uncomfortably long periods of time.  Very cool, but very creepy. 

In conclusion, I like our balcony...

And lastly, here's just a quick glimpse at my bedroom. 

Items of interest:

1. The two beds, one for night-time, one for siestas.
2. The fan
3. The guitar
4. The closet
5. Nick's oil painting

For other uninteresting pics, I'm setting up a link on Picasa Web Albums, but it's taking forever so I'll post the link later.

Also, stay tuned for the next couple posts about the congregation and the ministry. 

Enjoy
