I finally had 5 free minutes this morning, and I spent them taking pictures of my living space. Just to keep everyone updated, here they are!
This first picture isn't much- the 3 drawers are mine, and about half of the surface space is mine too...when I moved in the woman who was already living here had been here since April, so I'm slowly taking more space from her and letting her get used to someone moving in. In the mirror you can see the reflection of a kitchen fruit basket that I bought at a thrift store and hung from the ceiling to hold all of my "products".
This (bad) picture shows my bed, my "closet" (the chair), and my food/shoe storage...which is the Tupperware drawers I bought. So far, this and the picture above highlight the only space in the entire apartment that is truly mine...so I'm hoping to be able to expand more soon.
Our only source of heat.
The apartment was painted by a group that came in from Canada, before I had even arrived in Mexico. I see this wall every morning when I brush my teeth, and it's the most uplifting thing to see at the start of every day!
I looked for shelves for about 2 days before I gave up and bought a large trash can at the thrift store as well. It's my shelf for the shower, and my roommate uses the window sill.
The shower itself is large, and we have hot water, which is lovely on 20 degree mornings.
A picture of our kitchen- the stove and the fridge and the microwave and the toaster are all located in Phil's apartment which is attached to ours.
Part of the living room (there's a TV under the blue fabric), and the Christmas tree.
The rest of our "kitchen". Self explanatory.
My first week here in Agua Prieta has been totally full of learning, doing, and living. We have had a group here since Wednesday, and they are an absolute blast. (For the sake of everyone's privacy, all my references to groups will be my own acronym for them). WTS has also had a very full schedule, which means I've been out of the house every day around 8, and not home again until 9 or 10. While I'm loving every minute of it so far, I haven't yet been given an official schedule of work responsibilities, and am hoping to have that solidified sometime soon.
Thus, my only 5 free minutes this morning were spent taking pictures, though the Migrant Resource Center today is dead, and I have time to blog away.
For those of you reading, feel free to share comments! I still want to know what's happening in your neck of the woods... :)
