My new house and all that....


Here's Kelly in front of our new home! It is nice, and in a little compound of two other houses like this. As there is no street address, our current directions are to "pass the BP, turn left after the Oxford sign, follow the street to the end, and it is the red gate after the store." Simple, huh? The taxi drivers here have amazing visual memory, partly because they really have no other choice given the lack of gridwork roads and street names.

The kids living in our compound are really cute. I find that the children here are generally less fussy and more smiley. It makes me wonder what makes our Canadian kids so fussy? I haven't seen a tantrum or a scolding in public yet in Dar.
