People have asked for pictures of our actual home, so here we go:
Grace leaving via the front door. We live in a duplex and share a back entrance with our neighbors who are from New Zealand.
Our kitchen, which is actually smaller than it appears in the photo.
Fancy this one is.
Our east side - you can see our African gazebo on the south side of the unit.
Our vegetable garden consists of this small patch of African sweet potato which is ready to harvest. We use the leaves as well, as you would spinach.
This is the view we have as we step out our front door. The little building is actually a guard house. As you can see the only green is where we have plants. There is no grass.
This is the view facing east towards the guesthouse which Grace is walking from. The guesthouse is one of the many buildings that Grace and her staff are responsible for.
This is my office.
We are looking after Wantee (not sure of the spelling) for a missionary who is on home assignment for 8 months. He is usually sprawled out on the floor from 6 in the morning until about 10 at night. Then he and Martin, another compound dog, patrol the compound and take care of unwanted little creatures.
Our neighbors unit is on the west side. They had to hang some bamboo mats to block out the intense sun in the afternoon. Unfortunately there are no shade trees on that side. Lucky guy, he works in the shop and has access to a quad to travel to and from his work.
I will forward more pictures in another blog.
Blessings to all.
