Better still, the house was ensconced in an area filled with sandstone boulders just perfect for climbing. This helped salvage a little 'vacation' for the people who weren't at the hospital. We had brought our climbing rope, shoes and some basic equipment, and when the sun came out we were able to saunter down there and scramble around, do a bit of top-roping, look for lizards, admired the vegetation.
The comfort and amenities of the house turned out to be a real blessing when it ended up (a) pouring rain for a day and (b) being the location of a 3-day medical recuperation.

Looking out at the entry gate, through the rainstorm.
looks like a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI find myself somewhat bemused by the idea of anyone needing a clothes drying cabinet in the desert . . . for that one rainy day a year?
ReplyDeleteLOL, Amanda! And we were there for the one rainy day of 2010 and didn't use it!
ReplyDeleteThe instructions and dials had all sorts of functions for flat-drying sweaters and for "wrinkle release" with steam, so I guess those are the functions it actually serves.
PART of the bathroom? How big was it?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Sophie is doing well.
