My home :-)

Welcome to our home in Cofradia, Cortes!  I am pleased to introduce you to my volunteer family (Adam, Colleen, Karena, and Sean) and ...


our lovely neighbors, with whom we have bonded quite nicely :-)  Katie, they ask about you every day... "When are we going to meet your sister?  Do you think she'll bring us a gift?  Katie this, Katie that..."  I keep trying to put them off, Katie, but they are growing impatient by the day.

 

Here's a closer look at our:
front porch-


living area-


kitchen-


back porch-


side space-


outside laundry "room" with una pila (green thing that holds a bunch of water) for bucket showers when our water goes out.  I also use the pila to wash my hands during the middle night after my visit to the outhouse bathroom behind the black door.


There are two bedrooms in the house.  Sean and Adam share one.  Colleen and Karena share the other.  My room is basically a shed in the back of the property.  They thought changing the name from "shack" to "castle" might make it more inviting.  I was crowned "queen" and am just happy to have my own space!  It is nice to know my friends are nearby :-)



Thanks for visiting our home!


You are welcome back to experience the mooooooing cows, mighty roosters, midnight rain on the tin roof, and the sun rising above the mountain tops... anytime you wish :-)


A hammock is waiting just for you!
