A Mansion

After my first mass today I had lunch at the house of a choir member. She is the domestic worker for the owner, who is a businessman that runs a restaurant in the city. It was just like a Hollywood house with Arab flare.

The gated building was immaculately constructed. Even the driveway was elegant. When I passed through the garage to the mudroom, I had a view of the magnificent swimming pool. It looked like a lush garden of Eden. The grounds were superbly kept. Grass was abundant and it looked like a tropical garden.

When I entered the house, I thought it was quite lovely. It was very large for there were two main sitting areas before one arrived at the dining room. However, from there, there was another two-thirds of the house to see. There were four more seating areas, plus a smoking room, a piano room, and another lounge. I felt like I was walking through a museum. Everything was tastefully decorated.

I did not go upstairs, but the second floor was the same footprint as the ground floor. The kitchen was huge and extremely modern. I would love to cook there. Our meal was very tasty and nicely prepared.

I'm sure many other houses are similar to this one, but it was amazing to see. I generally see more modest houses. One of the nice things the wealthy can buy is space. Space makes a person feel free.
