Our Apartment

  Red brick building is our "apartment".  Our balcony is visible just above palm tree.  We are 3 stories down on left end in this view.  We have nice 2 Bedroom 2 bath unit.  It is much nicer than we anticipated!  We actually have a small balcony on this side, which overlooks Accra High School.  One of their buildings is the white one in foreground.

Top picture is Linda standing on the inside hallway of apartment building.  Our apartment is actually behind from where photo was taken.

Second photo is view from outside our front door on the 3rd floor.  Note no stop or yield signs.  Building at left sells "talking drums" which have unique sound for various African tribes.  Kitty-corner has one of hundreds of local fruit and veggie stands.

  The LDS temples all have a statute of the Angel Moroni sounding a trumpet in place of a steeple.  It symbolizes the return of the Savior.   That statute is visible in distance at top of 2nd picture just left of center.  My office is next door to that temple.

Looking from our balcony onto Accra High School Buildings.  My understanding is that high schools are private and not supported by government funds. These buildings are as crude as they appear.

Looking off our balcony.  The German Embassy is behind the street barriers along the street.

Fruit and veggie stand kitty-corner from our street and shown from a distance in picture above.

Talking drums are seen on right with coconut sales on left.  We found that this type of shop is literally up and down almost every street and  all over Accra. 

Front of our apartment building.  Our front door is 3rd story from top and visible at palm tree  towards the back of the building.
