AMERICAN EAGLE

The Moons in front of American Eagle, a variety store owned by a Lebanese American family from New Jersey for twenty years. We have made friends with the two brothers who run it. One is a non-practicing family doctor, and the younger brother is a business management graduate. We enjoy conversation with the older brother who does not speak any of the local languages and so seems eager to converse when we come in. Their inventory is diverse, ranging from home decor, to tools, office furniture, and home furnishings of all sorts, plus fabric and some toys. 

Here is how you fix a broken plastic chair leg.

Returning to our apartment, approaching 30th of June Plaza.

Rounding the Plaza, the green building is the Gare Central (Central Train Station).

Building second from right is our apartment building. The first two floors are occupied by USAID.. White office building to the right was built bu the Chinese. We look right into it from our office and kitchen. It is not fully occupied yet.

We returned at about 13h00, end of the Saturday school day and the students are leaving.
