Welcome to House 11!
The front of our house - and our laundry. Doing sheets by hand has to be one of the most time-consuming tasks ever.
Our backyard with our latrine and what they call "our plantation" - we have two types of bananas, avocados, passion fruit, cassava, and sugar cane. And we haven't even planted our garden yet!
We have a different kind of traffic here.
Gardening is called "digging" in Uganda, for a good reason.
Our gardening tools!
One of two avocado trees.
Our bountiful avocado harvest. We probably go through about six avocados a day.
Kitchen with our stove top and pantry area.
Living room!
Our bedroom, complete with a jury-rigged mosquito net.
Guest bedroom - come and stay with us! See, you get your very own net and candle!
Doing laundry out back - the ol' three bucket system.
Someone trying to pay a visit.
With no power half the time, you have to come up with creative ways to entertain yourself...Celebrating my birthday with a Little Debbie brownie, candle, and snowflake plate sent from the States!
"Necessity is the mother of invention." Never was there a place where this was so true. Buying scratch-off airtime for our phones and some milk in a bag!
We'd like to take you up on the guest space but how do you keep your beverages chilled?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Paul, we don't! There is a plan in the works, however, for a clay pot/cement "fridge" we can bury out back.
