Más de mi casa aca en Chile!

I have kept to my promise and taken more photos of my house here in Chile. And I think this time I have gotten pretty much all of the house!

Outside of the house:

This is Pili's cute little red car. I am starting to miss driving, its so weird, I would have never thought that was possible!

This is the view from about where Pili's car is, looking towards the house.

This is the side of the house. If you follow this walkway, you will reach Erin's window and a basketball hoop of the boys. And if you looked up from Erin's window, you would see mine! :)

This is the area right after where the cars are parked. This is the only little area of grass (pasto) we have. Isn't it quaint.

This is back where we hang the clothes to dry, just a wall of pots with plants.

This is the table that Marcelo made in the same style as the cake stands. We eat almuerzo (lunch) out here on nice days. It is so nice and relaxing.

Just another photo of the pretty table!

Some of our pretty flowers, that are always blooming! Yeah I love them.

This is the front door.

Downstairs:

This is the front door closed, sorry its so dark.

And once you walk in the front door this is the view. Right up the stairs and into my room if the door is open. Lovely I know.

This is the living room. Once you walk in the front door, this room is on the right.

This is another part of the view when you walk in the front door. So if you don't go up the stairs you and go straight and it will take you to Erin's room which is at the end of this hall, or her bathroom with down there too.

This is the view from inside the living room. You are obviously looking at the dining room, or comedor in spanish. We use this mainly for storage of all the things for Pili's events, things are always coming off this table. But it is also used for big family dinners, or its a place for the kids to study when they have friends over and study groups.

So after walking in the front door if you don't go straight or take a right, you can take a left which will take you into the informal dining area, and the kitchen. Where the family usually hangs out.

So here is the kitchen which you have all seen from cooking classes. And there is Pili and Erin cooking away. I actually think I took this before one cooking class one day.

So then off the kitchen is another little hallway that takes you to the computer room and Javi's room in one direction, and the other direction outside to where the laundry room is and then outside where we hang dry all the clothes. But in that hallway, looking straight from the kitchen, you walk right into the dispensa or pantry in english.

And then this is the laundry room. We only have a washer, they don't use dryer's here.

So thats why we have lots of clotheslines and drying racks outside.

And more photos of the clotheslines. I think I want to have one of these when I get back to the states, and use it in the spring and summer. Good way to conserve energy.

Upstairs:

Alright so this is the view from my bedroom doorway. It is directly in front of the stairs.

And then if you walk past my bedroom, right in front of you is the bathroom. But if you turn the corner, this is the hallwa upstairs, and at the end of the hallway, is the rooms of: Pili & Tuti, Maite, Ignacio and Gabriel. Oh and right at the end of that hallway is another bathroom. The bathroom (baño) of The boys and Pili and Tuti. Maite and I share the bathroom by my room.

This is Maite's room. It used to be Constanza's when she lived here. And Maite had my room. But now that Constanza's doesn't live here anymore, Maite gets the bigger room! It's cute, but I just took a quick photo from the doorway.

This is Ignacio's room. It looks almost empty. It's pretty much the only room in the house without a lot of decoration.

This is Pili and Tuti's room. It has the best view in the house. Which I have photos of that view further down.

So after walking down the hallway upstairs and then turning back around this is the view. So on the left of the photo is mine and Maite's bathroom, and then on the right you can see the door of my bedroom.

And this is mine and Maite's bathroom. It's the biggest in the house.

Views from the house:

Views from Pili's room:

I took these the other night. The sunset was just so gorgeous, so Pili sat in her room and watched the sun go down. I would love to her view to wake up to every morning. I mean don't get me wrong, creep polish neighbor guy is interesting, but I think I would prefer the ocean view much more.

View from window right outside my bedroom:

I took this on a day that started out clear sky and NO clouds. But within like a 20 minuter period, the clouds rushed in and created this foggy stuff. And then it lasted for the rest of the day. This happens sometimes. I mean beyond those clouds are tall buildings, not like anyone would know from the picture though! But I guess this is what happens when you live by the coast. Fine by me though, I'll take it if I get the ocean as well.

This is actually the garden view below my window. That is a lemon tree and then all kinds of pretty flowers. I really love it.
