I have some more photos this morning.  First, three from our yard. The first is of me sitting in front, among the flowers, reading in the sunshine. I must admit, the first day we were here, I wasn't careful enough of the intense sun at this high altitude and got a sunburn on the back of my neck--just a strip which is now peeling. So I slather on the sunscreen now. You don't really think the sun is as hot as it is, but I think the altitude makes a big difference in its intensity.

 You'll also see a little garden shaped like a heart that Gutu the gardener has made. It is at the entrance to the front yard--very sweet. Plus a view of the front yard with the path down in front where students walk back and forth to their dormitory. It is fun to sit on the porch and watch the parade.  People are so affectionate here. In a two minute conversation they shake hands 7 or 8 times, hug when they see each other, other sides, and when they part. We hear these gentle greetings float up from the road. Fun!
