HOME, SWEET HOME...

Although we had some complications with our apartment when we first got here to Amman (no stove, no air conditioning, only mini-bar refrigerators, and spotty electricity) we have learned to love our little home for the summer (especially since yesterday when our air conditioning finally got fixed)! One thing we especially love is our location. We live in a nicer part of town (NOTE: we are living in a third world country, so when we say nicer it is all relative) and are about a 15-minute walk to campus and about a 20-minute taxi ride to almost anywhere in the city. Since we live near the University our apartments were designed for four single students, which makes living here as two married couples a little interesting, but we make it work. Since we have been here almost two months we thought you would all enjoy a little picture tour of our apartment. 

The dining table

The living room

More of the living room

(When we moved in we found six little side tables, who really knows what they are all for.)

The kitchen and stove

(The stove has enough room for one 9x13 pan.)

More of the kitchen

The communal refrigerator. 

(It's a little bigger than the mini fridges we have in our bedrooms.)

Our little bathroom

(Notice the square on the floor- That's our shower. Everything in the entire bathroom gets wet when you take a shower!)

The other side of the bathroom and our washing machine

(The washing machine fits about 4 pairs of pants... that's it!)

Our bedroom

 (The mini fridge fits in the cabinet under the T.V.)

More of the bedroom

(All the furniture for the bedroom looks like old hotel furniture with brown little spots of paint all over them where they were damaged when moving them.)
