Where I Live and Work

This is my Dad's house. It's a big 3-bedroom house with a pool and an enclosed patio. Epiphany and I live with his two Siamese cats and his little Maltese dog.

My sister, who is an interior designer, decorated my dad's house in an African motif, and she did a fantastic job. He had visited her when she lived in South Africa and he fell in love with the place.

 

This is my humble 1987 Toyota Camry. After my experience with my '83 Corolla, I didn't hesitate for a moment in choosing the Camry. It's utterly reliable and gets 30 mpg. Because I walk to work every day (Monday thru Friday) I save a fortune on gas. My boyfriend, Peter, lives in Ft. Myers, which is 30 miles north of here, and I spend almost every weekend at his place.

I have banker's hours (8am - 1:30pm approx.), so after I get home from the gym I usually  go for a swim and lay out by the pool.

It takes me 15 minutes to walk to work along this path. Peter gave me a new iPod for Christmas and I've subscribed to a couple of Spanish-learning podcasts on iTunes which I listen to on the way to and from work.

This is the Town Centre. It contains the bank branch where I work, a nail salon, a hair salon, a new Italian reataurant, a post office, a small library and the community gym. The bank is very small (one room) and there are only two of us in this branch. Can you imagine me in a tie!?


This is the lake side of the Town Centre. The outside of the gym is is the picture on the right.



This is the inside of the gym. As you can see it is filled with state-of-the-art equipment.
