Flat Number 2 in 2 weeks...

We've moved again to another flat since arriving a little over two weeks ago. We have gotten settled into this place and will be here for the next 6 months. Then we will move to another flat that is unfurnished after we receive our crates of belongings...or at least that is the plan today...our life tends to change so much so you never can tell what may happen next! :)

Our flat is very cute and very "American like" except for the temperature and the water issues! You would think it would be very hot here in the desert but it is VERY cold where we are now. The temps are only in the 40's but we don't have central heat, we have ceramic floors and concrete walls and that makes for us living in a big refrigerator! We also have water issues here..imagine that..in the desert! Water is only turned on two days a week in the city where we have unlimited use of it on those days. The rest of the week we use water from our reserve tanks and pray we make it to the next week! We didn't make it last week but this week I am the "MOM WATER POLICE!" I walk around saying, "Turn off the water! Do you need that much water? Take a really quick shower!" Oh the joys of learning again how to live in yet another place!

Here are a few pics of our flat...
