Pics of the area around my house


This first pic (<--)is the view out one window (mosquito net in the way), showing the incredibly tidy gardens all around here. Every house has a gardener. The background is just another suburb of Kigali.

This next one is from the bottom of my road looking back. Showing the rows of these places. Also the banana plantations at the edge of it. A guy carries 3 water cans and will have to carry them all back from a km away. On the far right horizon you can see the stadium where a handfull of UN troops kept about 10,000 civilians safe during the war.

And this one looks over our surrounding plantations to the city centre of Kigali, which is just on the hill in front of the big hill in the background, just to the right of it's summit and about to get drowned by some heavy rain. The centre is tiny & doesn't look that much bigger close up!
