Nuestra Casa

As I type this, our neighbor is playing some beautiful guitar. Yes, that's correct--I said NEIGHBOR! We are officially moved into our Mexico City casa. Our apartment is in a lovely neighborhood called Colonia Roma. Roma has the reputation of being the artist and musician enclave of Mexico City (hence, perchance, the neighbor playing guitar below us). We like this neigborhood because it's safe and pretty (but still a little gritty) and not snooty. Oh, and I guess we kind of like it for another reason; it's in our price range. Yeah, that's important.

This is our sweet door knocker (if you visit us, you can try it out!):

This picture is dedicated to our moms. See! We're safe!

Living Room/Study, Bedroom:

Our bathroom with the awesome pink motif, and an example of the bathroom tile to match flawlessly said motif:

Our tiny (cute!) stove in our tiny kitchen (which is not so cute):


















Peering out of our tiny kitchen across the "courtyard" to our bedroom window:

We have rooftop access, and this is the view to the lovely botanicals of our neighbor (not the guitar-playing one, a different one):

There's some of it, at least. This weekend, we're exploring the city, which should equate to a plethora of good snapshots come Sunday.
