la casa

i forgot to mention this:  foo's parents' apartment is huge.  for real.  the building they are in is divided into four sections and has 26 floors.  so her parents have one section of the four.  and is on floors 25, 26, and mysteriously, 27, but there is no 27 on the elevator.  just inside the apt.  the top floor is only half the apartment, so in the livingroom/dining room, the windows are on two sides going two floors high.  oh my goodness.  this place is luxury like i may never know again.  so i'm soaking it up.
