The Space We Now Call Home

So sorry for the last week of quiet!  As most of you have suspected, the recent move has given us fresh ways to practice patience with our Internet (again).  I won’t have access at home for a while, so things may be a bit quieter around these parts.  Until then, I wanted to show some pictures of our new (much cheaper) house.  It’s only 5 minutes away from the orphanage, has plenty of space, and is a short walk away from a neighborhood pool.  Because we are now in a much more rural area (and I recognize that my defintion of “rural” is laughable to some), there are beautiful rice fields right down our road.  Of course, “more rural” in Thailand means more mosquitoes, less aircon (and none downstairs), only one bathroom with hot water, an outside laundry “room,” water with a slightly-brownish tint, and sketchy internet.  Oh, and more critters, too.  (You can pray I won’t be too freaked out by the lizards or giant roaches.  And if I see mice, well, this city-chic may just have to check into the Hilton. Just kidding, I’m not that much of a wimp.  Okay, no, I guess I am.) 

{And, no, the squatty potty pictured above is not one of the main bathrooms in the house.  We do have Western toliets.  This bathroom is in the back alongside a tiny room, designed for a live-in maid–which we don’t have.}

What do you love most about the space you call home right now?
