Around our neighbourhood

Here is a park near the river. Green grass is a rarity in Mozambique, and always refreshing.

This is a typical pathway. We are the only ones I've seen so far who navigate the streets with a pram, though.

If you look closely below, you can see a lady carrying a basket on her head and a baby on her back. That is the normal transport for babies around here. I wore Lilah on my back the other day and a lady told us we should employ her to carry our babies so that I wouldn't have to do work :)

This is the local rubbish truck.

Here is our local rubbish bin. It has just been emptied by the garbage men shovelling the rubbish into a trailer. There is a family of ducks, some chickens, and some street dogs that love to hang around the rubbish area.

This is our street.

Here is a local well where the women and children from our neighborhood fetch their water.

Here is our apartment building.

Our apartment is the one painted yellow.

Here is the driveway that we share with another family. That's the truck that our company generously provided for us.
