I Tumble Homeward


[sorry for the HUGE delay in posting anything! my iphone was stolen so I have had no internet for almost two months :( but I am posting several entries at once to make up for it!]

Here are some pictures of our house and community to go along with the previous post about our little corner of the world here. Two months in I am just as comfortable and at home here, and have actually had some pretty victorious cooking and baking experiences (thank you SOOOO much for the brownie mix, mom!) that deserve their own post. Enjoy a pictorial tour of Bassa Community, Kakata City, Margibi County, Liberia, West Africa, the world!

 our house, the near half of a nice, new duplex building

the well in front of our house, with draw-bucket 
front porch with coal pot in the corner
front yard, neighbors' house 

view from the front door: bathroom straight ahead, my room and spare bedroom to the right,



my bedroom with the patchwork blanket I sewed the first few weeks at site
kitchen with real counters, and crawfish on the curtains

Small Brown Girl, the helpful chicken, doing dishes with the Wonderful,  Amazing Heather, my roommate

Joy Africa FM radio tower on Bossa Community Road, down the way from our house
the view from the top of the hill going down to our house

our house, the swamp, Kakata Rural Teacher Training Institute up the hill to the left, and Booker Washington
Institute over the hill to the right
