My Front Walk
This leads to my apartment (straight ahead). Usually in the afternoons, I will have my main door open and just the screen door closed. To the left is an open grassy area, where my cleaning lady hangs my laundry. To my right is my neighbor's apartment, with another 2 people on the second floor. 4 Apartments in the building, that's it! I FINALLY got around to having a little photo shoot with my apartment today. The weather was iffy, I was feeling lazy, and my apartment is nearing completion in the "looking good" category. I just want to still get some pillows made for the couch and some bigs ones for the floor, buy a tv and dvd player, and put some more big pictures on the wall... but this will all come with time. If there is one thing you need in Tanzania, it's patience.
SO, in the photos you will see: the walkway to my apartment, conveniently located on the ground floor of the main parking lot- great for ordering in food and waiting indoors for taxis to show up! My entryway, kitchen, living room, dining/desk area with backyard, hallway with bathroom, closet and bedroom leading off. It's small, but it's all I need! I had everything painted my second week in Dar, and the very next day my shipment arrived from Switzerland! I was very lucky in the timing of everything, and it's nice to come to a real "home" at the end of the day. Enjoy the pics and come see it in real life sometime!
