we've moved...

In keeping with our semi-nomadic lifestyle, we have moved....again. And if all goes according to plan, we'll be here for about 6-8 months. Don't want to stay in one place too long you know! Anyway, we have now moved over into the actual house (you may remember from an earlier post that we were staying in a bedroom out back, detached from the house). We have our own bedroom and bathroom and as you can see we have a lot more room now!

Remember the "toilet in the shower" from our last place? Well, we had to give up that convenient feature when we moved over here but Togolese bathrooms rarely disappoint and this one is no exception. Take a look at the shower head....yep, right over the dresser (everyone has a dresser in their bathroom don't they?). You just stand in the middle of the room, turn the water on and there you have it! Another very convenient design! You can clean the entire bathroom as you shower....whether you want to or not. Who needs shower walls anyway? And shower curtains? A waste of time if you ask me.

Oh, if our bed seems a little high well, that's because it is. The mattress that was on the bed when we moved in doubles as some rare form of torture so after tossing and turning the entire first night I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went to the bedroom next door and took the twin mattresses that were in there and simply put them on our bed! I'm nearly a genius.

The only trouble is that when Kevin sits on the side of the bed to put his shoes on or something his mattress flies up in the air and he nearly lands on the floor - every time. You'd think he would put his shoes on somewhere else but I'm not complaining - it's very entertaining to watch.
