Photos of My Apartment

Hi All,

After promising many of you that I would send pictures of my new apartment (and keep you all updated on my life in Egypt) I have finally gotten internet installed (about an hour ago) and have created this blog for you to all keep track of me.

Here are some photos of my (still largely unfurnished) apartment.


These are photos of my living room taken from either end. (left) facing my windows, which have a spectacular view. (right) view from the windows in. The white door on the left is the door to the apartment, the hallway to the front leads to the guest bathroom, and the hallway to the right leads to the rest of the apartment.

(right) view of the main hall. The room at the end of the hall is the master bedroom, the room to the right is the 'third bedroom', 1st room on the left is the kitchen, 2nd is the bathroom and 3rd is the second bedroom

These are pictures of the 'third bedroom'. It may become the dining room or an office. It is unlike the other bedrooms in that it has alabaster floors and a, um, magnificent chandelier.



This is my kitchen. It has a huge pantry/balcony thing through the door to the back right and granite counter tops. Please note the colour of the refrigerator which also matches the stove.


















The one truly unforgivable choice the owner of the apartment made was this bathroom. The colour offends me immensely. We added the white toilet seat, white towels and a white shower curtain to tone down the pink but it is still a notably pink bathroom.







This is the not-so nice view from the balcony off of the second bedroom. It has laundry strings off of it, though and does get nice breezes.
The next two photos are views of the second bedroom. (the photos without the bed in them)









Two views of the master bedroom. This bedroom is HUGE, though the pictures don't convey it. It is extremely cool and can be downright windy when the window and door are open.
The rest of the pictures are the views from the balcony and the windows. The brown-ish looking trees up close are mango trees, which have mangoes that are about to be ripe!

















There is a close up of the mango tree closest to us. If you look at the top, just left of center you can see a green mango on it.

















































That's about it, really. I will take pictures outside of the apartment soon and send photos of the neighborhood, the neighbors, and things in Cairo. In the meantime, enjoy and let me know what you think!
Lots of love,
Lisy (in Egypt!)
