Apartment!!

We managed to find a apartment before school started, thank goodness. We chose to live in Zone 14 (near Zone 10 where the nightlife is but 14 is safer and more residential) Our apartment is one block from Las Americas. Las Americas is a major road that has a large grassy median. On Sundays they close one side for people to walk their dogs, ride bikes, rollerblade, etc.

The apartment is up on the fifth floor, which is nice in terms of views but scary in terms of Tisa. We’ve been keeping her off the porch.

Mini tour!

You walk into the apartment and on your left are a few closets and the guest bathroom. Then you turn right and head into the dining/living room. Turn again around the corner and there’s the kitchen. I love the large window over the sink.

Further in the kitchen is the maid's room and bathroom. Memo to guests who'd like to visit: You will have your own (tiny) room and full bathroom. Although right now all that's in there is a rug. haha

View off the porch. When it's not so cloudy you can see the hills in the background.

Jen's bedroom is before mine in the hallway. Her bathroom is across the hall.

My bedroom is at the end of the hallway (Jen and I did a coin flip for the master and I won). The school provided the bed and I bought the end tables and bench outside of Antigua. I am still meaning to get a corner table and possibly a desk. I recently bought these two plants from the plant shop across the road from the apartment. One is a regular little palm tree and the other is called a Guatemalan pony tail palm. (a name I love, it’s whimsical). 

Palm tree!
