Our Dakar Apartment

Our apartment in Dakar is small but much better than we had anticipated! (After the first three weeks, we moved to another apartment, and this one became Sharron and Jane's. Pictures of the other apartment will come later.) There is a bedroom/living room combination, a small kitchen, and a bath. Windows on each side of the bedroom provide good breeze----if there is a breeze blowing! There is a TV, but it does not work. There is no washer/dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, or a/c. But we do have everything that we need. Here are some pictures of the apartment.



Next is a photo of the bed---with a mosquito net. We have seen very few mosquitos in the apartment, but we have seen (and felt) more around the church building. The fan on the wall above the bed is very welcome during the hot nights!

The next two photos are of the kitchen. Notice the propane tank which is used to operate the stove. Above the sink is a roll-up metal shade. All of the windows have shades like this one.
