Our House

When we looked at apartments in the city they were small and awefull.  Sean looked at a hundred different housing options and this was the only one that he felt at home in.  It is HUGE!  I only took pictures of the downstairs because the Ayi has Saturdays off and I would have had to pick up the bedrooms. 

To get the big house we had to live waay out of town.  Sean has an interesting commute that consists of a scooter, a subway and then a bus ride or a bike ride.  I have heard that the scooter ride includes chickens in the street.

The Ayi works five days a week from 12-4pm and we have to pay her $200 per month.  I am in heaven!  But there is a downside to the cheap Ayi, she speaks no English.

                                            

The best part about having an Ayi is that I can cook and make a huge mess and she will clean it up in the morning.  If we put the dishes in the dishwasher she either puts them away dirty or washes them again so we don't bother anymore.

Next we have the wildlife that came with the house.  We have lots and lots of wild cats that are happy to eat

our food but won't let us near them.  The frogs and snails are plentiful as well.  The windows of the house sweat at night and the snails leave little tracts in the sweat when they crawl over the windows.  It is kinds

creepy!
