The House Mabasa, or, Trip the Longdrop Fantastic

Some photos from around my house.


The courtyard. This photo was taken on an overcast day right after it rained. The place doesn't usually look like a scene out of post-communist Russia.

 Our rondevaal, which was used for cooking and storage until it was knocked down. I'm still not sure why

 



Our mealie (corn) field.

 
  The pit latrine




 
Our mango and paw paw trees.



Clothing line and garden.

One of my green pepper plants. Photobucket
Also, I hung a bok skull I found in the Eastern Cape from the roof. Motlare likes to hit me with it while making cow sounds. Yet another awful panorama - this time of my room. The room now has the table, clothing shelf, and book shelf I built. The tapestries are from Mozambique.
