HOME SWEET HOME

Before we came to South Africa, we were told we would have a nice apartment but we were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door.  Our kitchen has everything we need, except an automatic dishwasher, but I (Susan), married a good dishwasher and so it's okay.  We have a small washer and dryer in the kitchen, which is very convenient.

The bathroom is nice and modern but it doesn't have any electrical outlets .  It seems South Africa prohibits them in bathrooms. 

 

Our bedroom is roomy.  We have our own closets but they're fairly small.  For now I am hanging  my necklaces with Walt's ties.  At night we open the windows to let the cool breeze in.  We don't have screens on the windows.  Here it is the middle of summer and we haven't seen any bugs or flies, which must be a good sign.

We have felt very safe here.  Our building has a parking garage with a gate and a friendly security attendant.  When we leave the building, there is another security man to let us out through the lobby door.  Also, in front of our apartment door, there is another steel security door. You need to be careful though.  We heard of one sister that closed her apartment door behind her without having her keys, and so was locked between her apartment door and the security door for quite a while.

LOCKDOWN!!

Walt took another picture of our flowers.  They're pretty dead now but he won't let me throw them away yet.

There are 4 buds that have shown up also.  We don't know if they might bloom still
