Our House

Finally got around to taking a few pictures of the home in which we're living.

This is our street...

Grampa George likes to sit out front, eat watermelon, and spit out the seeds. The result is that the flowerbed in front of the house is filled with volunteer watermelon plants.

This is a view of the family's barn from the street.You can see that our 14 year old host brother Goqor has helpfully labeled it "Gom" ("barn"). 

Just inside the front gates there is a car port, large enough for two vehicles. In the summer, the family spends most of their time here. They wet the concrete floor down with a hose, and enjoy the relatively cool, damp air in the shade.

As you walk into the house from the car port area, immediately to your left is the kitchen. The small kitchen table is where almost all of the family's meals are eaten.

Continuing through the house you come to the living room. Sam is sitting next to our bed room, the door to which is open.

Looking back at the living room from our bedroom door.

This is our room, the window to which opens out onto the fig tree in the garden. 

And finally, the magnificent garden, from which you can see the beautiful Mt. Ararat. The garden here is huge, and amazing, Really, I hope I can have a garden just like this one day.
