Casa

Entering the apartment, has entra hallway where you can go to living room, laundry/storage room or to the right a large kitchen.  Down to the left is three bedrooms.  Hallway bathroom, the other bathroom is located next to bedroom.  A big sunroom is for hanging your clothes on two lines.

In June, I bought a couch so more guests could use and I changed everything to the left side of the room.  Now my neighbors across can't see me at the study desk, and I fixed some new sheer green curtains for more of privacy.

Beach of Tarrafal

A cobalt sea, string of litttle coves and a flat land under the forbidding mountains are what make Tarrafal.  The beach sports, fishing, sunbathers is great for soft white sand, and artists displaying their wares.

Elder and Sister Broderick from Mindelo are down here meeting town officials for one of their welfare projects.  Such a great couple from Danville, California, not too far from where Mike and Carrie live.  He is retired from Chervon.

Tarrafal

The 80km trip from Praia along the central road takes two hours and allugueresleave all day.  I left at 8:00 AM and switched in Assomada and picked up women with their market produce to take up the road.  It had started raining, and umbrellas came out on the streets.  I could have worn a sweater!

This family of three children and parents were standing on the side of the road waiting for transportation in the rain, and when she sat down next to me, she kept rubbing her very cold little hands on my warm arm!

This is where the women took their bags of corn, and fruits to the market place.
