Painting time!

We've been here for almost 2 months now, and we still have yet to much (well, anything) in terms of decorating. Everything was on hold, until we could get our place painted. We've actually HAD the paint for several weeks now, but never got around to doing anything with it.

Now in the states, we would certainly take a weekend, put some tarps down, and get the place painted using some good 'ole fashioned elbow grease.

Not here. SURPRISINGLY, we have not had too much trouble adjusting ourselves to the local customs and culture, which says - Why do it yourself, when someone else can do it for you?


So that is why we are sitting on our porch right now, taking refuge from the painters who are doing their thing inside. It is a bit of a disaster in there, with dust everywhere from sanding the walls and all our furniture turned this way and that. The funniest part is that our furniture is used as ladders - look closely at the picture and you can see footprints on our desk.


We'll let you know how it turns out! It's all very exciting!
