To get into CasaACU you come in a big set of double doors. This is taken just inside the doors. You can see the glassed in foyer and patio, with lighter walls on the other side of the tiled foyer. The curtains on on the windows of the computer lab. On the right of the tiled foyer is the door into CasaACU proper.
This is taken from in the foyer and the wooden door is the main entrance. We always keep this door locked. If we are leaving and we know someone is only a minute behind us, we lock it if we aren't waiting on them. This leads to some fun times of irritating each other by locking the door before the other person can get there.
This is taken just inside the door in the inside foyer. Just in the right of the picture you can see the stairs that go to the second floor. There are two doors in the little hall. The wooden door is a girls' dorm room. The metal door leads to the courtyard. We are going to go through the metal door first then we'll come back and go down the hall just to the left.
Here's the courtyard. My apartment has the three windows on the first floor. Rhonda's is on the second floor. The ground is so shiny because its raining at the moment. This picture was taken just outside that metal door. If you continue across the courtyard to right of this picture you go back inside to the extra girls' room/ professor's children's room (its empty at the moment), the quiet room and the back door to my apartment.
Here's the quiet room. To be honest, this is the first time I had been in here. The only reason I knew it existed is that it showed up on Facebook in one of the student's pictures. I guess since it's quiet it is good at hiding. Wahahahaha!
OK... so now we've gone back through the courtyard and turn right. OR Instead of going towards the courtyard from the front entry we turn left and go down the long hall. (In the picture from the front entry you can see the dark tiles leading to the left.) Anyway... on this hall we have four girls' rooms. The bright light is a reflection off a picture above the downstairs phone in the waiting area. You can see to the right of the reflection the hall continues on. (It gets brighter down there.) That hall leads to the kitchen, dining room, TV room, and workout room.
This is the waiting area on the first floor. The couch is front of my apartment. The open door is my front door and the window is over my kitchen sink. The wooden door on the left is to the girl's bathroom. Right behind me when I took the picture is that patio that was in the back of the very first picture. Now we're going to go in front of my apartment door and turn left and go to the very end of my hall.
This is the dining room and kitchen. In the background you can see Raquel and Mariella our amazing cooks. I'll write more about them later. This is where we go to try to ensure none of our clothes will fit when we go home. Luckily we walk a lot! (The wall in the back of the picture goes up against the girls' bathroom. For those of you who like to stay oriented.) Now just to the left out of sight in this picture are some stairs that lead up to the loft.
Hey and here are those stairs. You can see the dining tables on the right. Through the doors are the washer and drier. Behind a door beneath the stairs is a room that has fridges or something. It is an area we are not allowed to venture.
In the loft is the TV room/ Den/ chapel. Yup chapel too. The room through the other door is the exercise room. It has the world's loudest elliptical machine. Apparently Matt was using it while I was teaching... BUT I was so enamored with chemistry and the sound of my own voice, I didn't hear it.DON'T WORRY WE ARE ALMOST DONE!
And here it is from another angle. If you are thinking, "Wow! that room looks small!" You are right... although if you only have 4 in a class it is plenty big. :)
If you have stuck it out this far... I'm super impressed! Today was a rainy day so it seemed like it was a good day for a house tour.
Now we are back in the front entrance way. And are ready to head upstairs.
Just to the left at the top of the stairs is the computer lab. The computers are a bit old, but as everyone has a laptop and there is wireless in the house it's not a big deal. At least we can print from them. The curtains are the same one's I pointed out in the first picture.
From the computer lab you can see the second floor foyer. The second floor has the same basic layout as the dorm room/ apartment part of the first floor. There is even a balcony on the courtyard and rooms on the other side. Notice the beautiful hardwood floors! In the room next to the courtyard that was a girls' room downstairs is the most important room in the place!
That's right... The classroom... We do have a projector so we have smart capabilities.
