To Our Home In Bahrain

This is on the second floorh-stairsgoingto3rd.jpg (22737 bytes)B-upstarslookup.jpg (18302 bytes)looking up the stairs going to 3rd.
This is lookingh-lookingdownthestairs.jpg (28245 bytes)down the stairs.

After coming upstairsh-upstairs_sittingarea.jpg (20136 bytes)there is this large room.  We were not sure what to do with it ~  so we made it into a sitting area.  This is typical Arab furniture. B-upstairssetee.jpg (22151 bytes) In the back is a game table where I put puzzles together and have a A_upstairsgametablewpuzz.jpg (39818 bytes) great view out the window.
All of the bedrooms come off from this area.  There are 4 upstairs.  We have left one as Mike's exercise room and Berlin (our housgirl's ironing room)

This is the h-masterbd.jpg (24984 bytes)master bedroom.  At the back of the room (in every bedroom) there is a built in wardrobe and the center section has drawers.  And the master bath is then to the right.

This is how most of theh-oneofthebath_beforemovingin.jpg (17770 bytes)bathrooms look.  There is a sink, toilet, bidet, and bath with shower.  There are no plugs in any of the bathrooms.  That is hard to get used to. I have more photos of the bathroom I will put up later.

From the main sitting area there is anh-archway.jpg (17001 bytes)archway to the right and thru the archway is a hall.  There is a bedroom at each end of the hall.

This is h-guestroom_2.jpg (21299 bytes) h-guestroom_2-window.jpg (20214 bytes) h-guestroom2_beddresser.jpg (22314 bytes) h-guestroom2_wardrobe.jpg (19763 bytes)one of the guest bedrooms.  The company gave us an allotment to buy furniture for the house and this is local furniture.  Look at that wardrobe.  We did not realize how tall there were in the store.  They are too tall to move without taking apart.  When the furniture was delivered it came in a bunch of boxes and they spent all day putting it together.  Now if it is to be moved, it will have to be disassembled to move. This is the bathroom h-entrancetobath_fromguest2.jpg (17876 bytes)for the guest bedroom.

This is a second h-guestroom1.jpg (22527 bytes)guest room. h-guestroom1-dresser.jpg (21304 bytes) h-guestroom1-wardrobe.jpg (23099 bytes)

This is upstairs at h-upstairs_lookingoutdoortomarblepatio.jpg (21440 bytes) the opposite end of where the game table is.  This door leads to the upstairs patio outside.
I have more photos and will be adding them soon.

Now on to every day life here.
