guys, great idea!
Instead of words, I thought I'd update you with pictures
this week. I was hoping a picture post
would be quicker than writing one. Turns
out, with the incredible speed of the internet, it was NOT.
The below are all pictures of our place. Not exactly VIP
accommodation as some other volunteers (and ALL expats) in Abuja, but it's home
and I've grown to love it!

| Bedroom The white spotches you see on my sea green walls are spots I scrubbed so hard (with bleach water) the paint rubbed off. I think it adds character - as if a sea green room needed more character. |

| Bedroom - Closet |

| Bathroom Big blue bucket for clean water, small blue scooper for pouring the water, and cooking pot to stand in and catch what would go down the drain, which is then poured into the toilet to flush. We are VERY good at conserving this precious resource. |

Where is the washer, you ask? She's taking the picture. That's right - all of my laundry is done by hand - my own hands! Probably one of my least favorite activities.
