…is great. Probably twice the size of any previous apartment I’ve lived in. Which, granted, isn’t saying a whole heck of lot, but still. And I have stairs! INSIDE the apartment. And a patio. With a view. Have I mentioned the view?
Of course, I still don’t have a wireless internet connection, almost 8 weeks in, but who’s counting? (Me. I’m counting.) Anyhow, I’m making do. And hopefully my shipments will start coming in soon, which will help the place feel more home-y.
Other highlights: I’m within walking distance of the embassy – my commute is 10 minutes door to door. Also, there’s a little shopping street about 10 minutes in the other direction, with a couple of small corner grocery stores, a bakery, a butcher, and, (as I recently found out since Ramadan is now over) an alcohol store. There’s a lot of Algiers that’s not easily accessible by foot, however, so in theory I will eventually get a car. But I’m not in too much of a hurry just yet. We’ll see how life goes.
Meanwhile, here are a couple of photos of my apartment pre-household shipments:
Super big kitchen
Living room (a couple of photos in the bookcase courtesy of mom and dad!)
Upstairs Landing
Stairs!
Washer & Dryer! Didn’t have that in New York!
And…the patio!
Toto...We're Not In NYC Anymore 
Terrific apartment! And that terrace!
Terrace sounds so much fancier than “patio”. I will use it from now on… 🙂
So fun to see! Can’t wait to be there!
