Sweet Home Africana

In an effort to catch up on these last 3 months (gasp!) that I haven't posted, I thought the best would be a whole series of pictures based on themes, showing a bit more clearly what things look like for expats in West Africa.

First up - exterior of our house: Here's the front (with Cilia down in right-hand corner)


And the front yard















Back yard........ (with big mango tree)















Mangoes up close from said tree















Our Gabonese mutt - named Mooie (means "little girl" in Malian language)













The pool

Back porch




















And my Dutch BFF Monica with Cecilia's BFF Kanzy on the street in front of our place
