Our home for the next 12 months is three stories high, with a daylight basement that we discovered belongs to another party. It sits a couple of blocks in from the harbor, and we are getting used to going up and down stairs. I stepped it off, and the house measures about 40' by 30', so with the two floors of living space and the full rooftop, it should be perfect for our intended use.
The first picture shows the house partway up the "stairs," which actually shows up as a street on the city map. Our house is slightly whiter than the others, at the right side of the picture. The first balcony comes off the the main floor, which contains a living room, kitchen, dining room, and a single bedroom. The second balcony shows the floor with three bedrooms and a large bathroom. The covering over the rooftop barely shows up as a brown line.
The second picture shows the stairs looking down toward the harbor, and the third shows the warren of houses and narrow alleyways behind us.
The fourth picture shows the covered rooftop, where we spend a lot of our time. We have a Bible study up here every morning before breakfast.
The last three pictures show the panoramic view across the harbor from the rooftop.
Love the covered patio. Are there any mosquitos
ReplyDeleteKarl and Denita, I want you to know i have tried sending a message to you several times and it didn't work. I hope it will this time. We are enjoying seeing and hearing what you are doing these days.It is good that our studies are in Acts these days and we can picture you there. We were at preps week before and we missed you. Love, JoAnn
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are going to get a workout just getting to and from the house! Where in the world do you park the car!?
ReplyDeleteWe park the car about two blocks from the house, on a slightly wider residential street. There are very few private garages in the old section of Vathi. It is a common sight to see old people going up and down the steps, with a plastic bag in hand bringing home the grocers. No one drinks tap water here, so we have to carry six-packs of bottled water home.
