Apartment

---

I have a home! Last night I moved into my new apartment, its perfect! The building I'm in is a restored 19th century riad owned by an American couple who only spend a couple weeks a year here.
I have two roommates. Gibron, from LA, is a 30 something year old English teacher at the center. He manages the restoration work and maintainance on the house for the owners. Gerald is a 50 something retired bookseller who is an expert on literature and classical music (and he knew my favorite author, Paul Bowles)
The house is absoultely gorgeous, its 3 and a half stories with a roof-top terrace centerd around a gorgeous covered courtyard. There are 4 or 5 huge bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The courtayrd is elaboratley decorated with colored tilework and carved and painted wood. It looks postively palatial, and the salon and the sitting nooks are beautifuly furnished. There's a full kitchen with a gas stove, refrigerator and every kind of pot and pan one could want here. There's a hot shower and a western style toilet also, as well several squat toilets on the other floors. My room is on the 4th floor by the door to the terrace. It's a modest room, probably 15' by 20'. Right now there's just a matress on the floor but there's some furniture elsewhere in the house that Gibron is going to let me have to make it a bit more livable. The best part is that I can walk out of my room and straight through the door to the terrace. My have a beautiful rooftop terrace with unfettered view of the whole medina. There's no furniture up there yet, but i'm going to make the terrace my project (I'm thinking ping-pong table). I'm going to take some pictures when I get home and post them soon (I mean it his time). Miss you all, Come Visit!
B'Salaama,
Brad
