To Our Home In Bahrain
This is the 
front of our house.
You press the button and there is a camera. 
When you press the doorbell (the box to the right of the house #)it
activates the monitor inside that shows me who is at the door. I
then press the button and it opens the gate. Then you walk up the
walkway to the front door. I don't know why you really need this
here ~ there is no crime and I am not afraid here like in Houston.
This is in the front 
You
enter the main door and walk up to the front of the house. There is
a marble walkway around the house.
This is the view from
my front 
door
looking out to the sea
This is in the front 
That
is a palm tree with dates on it now.
This is at the back
of
the house. Mike is standing by the pool taking a picture. Most
of the houses with pools have covers. The Arabs do this because they
are protecting their women. They do not like them to be seen.
This is standing by
the pool facing
the
living room. All of the glass in the house looks like mirrors.
During the day you can't see in.
This is standing by
the pool.
There
is an outdoor shower to wash off after swimming.
This is standing by
the pool
looking
over at the maids quarters.
This is in the back
The
right side of the house.
This is standing by
the pool
looking
out at the sea. In the morning and in the late evening there are a
ton of birds ~ crane looking creatures when the tide is out.
This is the maids
quarters
There
are 2 rooms, a bathroom with shower, a utility room that also has a stove
for her to cook on, and a pool room that has the pool equipment.
This is the
landlord's
house
across the street. He owns most of the houses on the block and
several more in town, but his major business is jewelry ~ He is
someone I definitely need to get to know!!! He has 3 kids ~
the oldest is in college in Texas somewhere.
Well enough of the
outdoor photos now let's see the inside.
