High rise living...

Kitchen
Marcia and I have an official residence now. On Friday last we moved into a 12th floor condo. One of the unique characteristics of living here is the water. It is filtered...which is a good thing. One must always question the safety of the water. We have been fortunate in that once we arrived here we were able to obtain a personal filtration bottle that we use. It is like a sports bottle but has its own filtration system that is very, very effective. If we wanted to we could draw water out of a mud puddle and the water would be filtered well enough to drink (no pun intended).

Dining area and living room
When we were living in the MRC we had a our own bathroom but since the house we were living in was temporary for the MRC- they are completing a new MRC to be finished at the end of September- the decision was made not to fix the hot water in the bathroom that we used. Thus cold showers. Our condo does have hot water just for the shower. The rest of the water is not warm.
We do have a parking spot in the third basement.

Second bedroom/office
This past weekend was a four day weekend. Monday was a holiday in recognition for the last day of Ramadan. Tuesday was 'heros' day. The area office was closed but on Monday Marcia worked. Tuesday we decided to explore our neighborhood and check out the local Robinsons's Mall. It has everything one would want.  I was ecstatic when I recognized that they had a Do-It-Center Hardware store on the first floor. It was similar but bigger than the one that is in Fishers.

The commute time from our condo to our office is about 10 minutes in the morning. In the evening coming home it can be over an hour. Welcome to metro living!!

Included in this post are some of the pictures that I have taken of our condo...
