Mexico Week III

MY SEXY MEXI APARTMENT

Person 1: Somebody said you sounded like an owl.

Person 2: Who?

Happy Hump Day , amigos y familia!! Here in Mexico, they have a term they use for Wednesday that is loosely translated as “Bellybutton Day”. Wednesday is the middle of the week much as a bellybutton is located in the middle of the human body. Makes sense!

We currently have no internet access in the apartment. I’ve been using the WiFi at the school, so until we get it set up at home, my posts will be a bit briefer. Since we’re on the subject of the apartment, I thought I would take this opportunity to share with you some pictures of it! 

This here’s the dining room. No table yet, but we do have chairs! We discussed the idea of an Eastern inspired, Zen-like floor table with cushions rather than chairs. As of now, we’re still eating on the floor, just not at a Zen table. Not to worry, all will come together in due time … 

This is the living room and view from the front door. No furniture there yet, either. But we do have a bean bag chair!!  Gotta love the bean bags. Can you see the lovely red accent wall to the right? Classy. 

The rounded archway leads down the hallway to the bedrooms. It’s a three bedroom apartment, and is definitely a space meant for only three people. It’s pretty modern looking, eh? I’d love to fill it with equally modern-looking stuff from IKEA. But IKEA doesn’t exist here. Sad. 

The kitchen minus a refrigerator. There’s a cooler down there somewhere that is working splendidly for the time being. The kitchen is usually always my favorite place in any home. It’s where the magic happens!  And this kitchen is no exception. Some pretty tasty meals have already come out of here  :-) 

My little space in the world! I bought that nearly-new Sealy Posturpedic bed frame from one of Danio’s friends for $150 pesos. That’s less than $15 USD!! I wonder how much it would cost to ship to FL … Because it’d totally be worth it. I must say, I really love my room. It’s simple, it’s cream colored, I have a lamp, a fan, a view of the pool below, a love note on the closet door, a night stand, and books. What else could one ask for?!

           

This is my bathroom “area”. It’s really weird – the sink and mirror are in the hallway separate from the toilet and shower. Obviously, this layout was rationalized by the designer because EVERYONE knows what a darn hassle it is to have to walk through a door to use the mirror or sink when you don’t need the toilet. Duh! Thank you, Mexico. So, for all those people whose dirty little secret it is to wash your hands every other time you use the bano, that will not fly here!! I WILL BE WATCHING!!
