A Few Last Pictures

Hello, all.

I have been asked to share some pictures of the house at which, and family with which, I am living here in Georgia.  I took a few pictures to that extent today, and thought I'd share them for all to see.  Unfortunately, my host mother was not available when I was taking them, so you'll have to wait until later to see her, I guess.  Enjoy!

The house, as seen from the street.

The front door, as from just inside the gate.

The side of the house, from the same place.

The inside of the house, just after entering the front door.  My room is out of sight on the right, and my host sister's is out of sight on the left.  My host brother's room is on the left, and a study room on the right, before the bath room (I don't say "bathroom," but "bath room," because in American English this usually includes a toilet, whereas this is a room with a sink and an adjoining room with a tub).  The doors straight ahead lead into the living room, where the family spends most of its time (it's the only room with a woodstove).

My host brother, Lasha.

Looking left from the doors previously mentioned, the living room.

From the side of the living room the last picture was of, the rest of it.  The doorframe you can see on the left before the woodstove goes to the balcony outside, while the door you can see with come tape over broken glass goes into the kitchen.  The table you see here is where we eat, and we've been eating in this room since winter set on (as opposed to on the balcony).  Note the van seats on the left and right.  They essentially are used as ledges to put stuff on.

My host father, sister, and brother.  This was taken on our balcony.

The steps up to the balcony and the recessed floor near the basement.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the basement (we mostly just store food stuffs there) and the literal pigsty (and cowsty) ahead.

The steps up to the balcony.

Well, that's about it, I guess.  I probably won't be putting up anything else until after the winter break.  I will probably have a lot to write then, though, so hopefully that makes up for it.

In Christ,
