La Casa

This summer when we were makingn plans to come to Guatemala, we anticipated Stephen making the trip ahead of the rest of the family in order to scope out our potential residence. Due to the cost airfare, the idea of traveling separately, etc., we decided to hire a realtor. It was a bit nerve-racking choosing a place based on Internet photos and our realtor's advice, but it worked out better than we could have ever imagined. Our realtor was wonderful and we have adored our house, the location, our neighborhood and our neighbors. Praise God!

Take a tour through our house. Consider taking it in real life, too! We would love to have visitors!

Above is the view of the front of our house. Directly across the street is the neighborhood green area. I open the window in our living room (to the right of the front door) and have a beautiful view of the fountain and the flowering park.


To the left is a shot of the front entrance (the black door you see is the front door). The class doors lead to our living room and dining room, shown below.























Living area on the first floor of the house is L-shaped. If you continue walking on the indoor/outdoor hallway, you arrive at the doors to Sam and Ruth's rooms. Yes, technically Sam's room and Ruth's room open to the outdoors, but they are totally secure inside the walls of the house (remember the yellow wall seen from the front view of the house?). As I mentioned in an earlier post, I love the concept of the house. It's a very cool advantage of living in a place with perpetual Spring weather. Above the kids' rooms, on the second floor, is the master bedroom. You can see the window to the master bedroom in this pic.





Ruth's newly decorated nursery. We got permission from the ownder to paint and decorate and we're having so much fun with it. Sam's room is currently under "paint-struction" and I will post a pic of that soon.







Our master bedroom. The views from the window and the high, vaulted ceilings are what make this space spectacular. Too bad I didn't include pics of either of those...what's up with that?
