Remember the apartment?
If you don’t want to click the link, here are the Cliff’s Notes. My father-in-law has an apartment in the business/entertainment district of Miraflores. Nobody had lived in the place for about a decade. We were supposed to live there, but the place was in shambles.
Things have changed.
After a year of on-again, off-again work, its done. Things are different from the floor to the ceiling. New tile and new furniture grace the small space. We were there to clean. Friends of my in-laws are coming to visit and they want to stay in the apartment for a few weeks.
My mother-in-law brought the our maid Maria with us. It was surprising to me that Maria had never been to Miraflores. I suppose she’s had no real reason to go. Still, Miraflores is one of Lima’s most popular places.
Literally next door to the apartment building is a branch of the English Factory’s™ biggest rival. We’ll call it the British English Manufactory®. While we were cleaning, I kept an eye on the classrooms. I had a pretty good view from our 8th floor perch. The teachers at the Manufactory® sat behind desks and never used a black or whiteboard. It’s a different world across the pond.
Anyways, here are some before and after pictures for your enjoyment.
