APARTMENT

 There are colorful birds in and around our building compound. We see doves, crows, scissor tails, sparrows, fly catchers, and these little colorful birds, perhaps they are finches of a sort. They make enclosed, round nests attached at the ends of the thinnest branches of the trees around our building. I see them gathering fibers on our porch.

 Here are a few view of our apartment. The living area. Couches were made locally of imitation leather. The legs are nailed on and often bend when moved. The table was in the mission storage. We selected the carpet. The painting was in the apartment, so was the divider screen. We bought the plants.

 The entry area. We got the pictures from distribution in the Temporal Affairs building, then had them framed alike.

 Elevator on the left, our open door to the right of it.

 Master bath. We have three bathrooms. On has only a sink with cold water and a toilet and mirror, another with tub, shower, sink, mirror, and the master with two sinks, toilet, bidet, shower, tub, the works.

 We sleep under a mosquito net. We tried it once without it, but were bitten. The net is impregnated with insecticide of some kind. Great, huh! We take doxycycline daily.

 Fabric purchased at the marche for bed spreads, table cloths, pillows for the couches.

Another view from end of dining area through the apartment, with Sue hard at work on the table cloths. We will see how it washes. Fabric in Africa is of every pattern and color imaginable. They wear it beautifully. We have seen men and women dressed in the bright yellow fabric with the black swoops.
