paying for food at the market.

some of the garden at the guest house. there was one man incharge of it. he was really good at it.
the kitchen of the guest house, not very big for having different groups stay there for a couple weeks at a time. we had a cupboard for us 5 girls. they filled those empty bottles with boiled water and then they put them in the freezer. so we had good drinking water.
the guest house we stayed in. Very nice place, the lady who cleans it and takes care of it made amazing home made bread. Of course we took advantage of that, we did pay her for it.
the "front yard" of the guest house where we stayed a week before moving.
Katie in the room Caroline, Katie and I shared for the first week before we moved into a house whose family was on vacation to South Africa.
