Floor Twenty-Four

One of the perks of living on the 24th floor of an apartment tower in the middle of Makati, Manila is the great view. Our building happens to feature floor-to-ceiling windows, making those views all the more spectacular. Sara and I stood at the windows last weekend to watch the "light show" going on over the backdrop of the city. Sara was able to snap a couple of spectacular lightning pictures which you can see here.

The other benefit of our perch on the 24th floor is the view of Manila Bay as the sun sinks below the horizon. This picture is a view from the computer room in our apartment. You can see the bay in the distance. On a clear day, you can even make out some of the nearby islands.

And, finally, here is a picture of our living room. It's a great escape from the hectic nature of the city! Since this picture was taken, we have added to our "greenery" with a local palm tree and a few other flowers. So, that's a brief tour of home sweet home.
