Our caretaker lives here, behind our house. The red bush is a poinsettia bush. Being winter here, they are in full bloom! There are also large Poinsettia trees with the traditional blooms that we see at Christmastime.

On our daily walk up the hill to the mission home. We have to maneuver our way through some rough side walks...if there are any sidewalks! No high heels for Elder Rossiter's wife!!

This is the first gate we enter to get to our house. Then I walk up and unlock/bolt the gate at the top(in three places) and E. Rossiter drives up and out. Then I walk back down and out this gate and lock it in two spots...then off we go...just to repeat the ritual when we return!

A daily site...gotta dodge the chicken with her baby chicks!!

A downtown street market--selling everything from nylons, to toys, to shoes, to peanuts..you name it!!

A more rural market. This lady is selling all kids of dried fish. Love the scale up front!


Another little fruit and vegetable stand...

One of millions of uphill little alleyways leading to peoples' homes, nestled inside walls like these all over Tana.

  1. Fabulous photos San taught me that the poinsettia is the national flower. It is the country's colors: red courage, green?, white? and when you fold a leaf in half it's the shape of Mada.
