We have posted a lot of pictures of Bole road and some of our house (more to come as we are furnishing), but we have neglected to show you around our neighborhood. So here is a quick tour hitting most of the highlights.
I think we managed to find the best of both worlds with our house. We are two blocks from the main road with all kinds of restaurants and markets, but once you walk off the main road you enter this relatively quiet neighborhood with cute cobblestone streets.
We will see how it is when the main road opens but currently most of the traffic is foot traffic with people walking to work and school, men selling various products (see man with brooms and mops below), kids playing and occasionally sheep herding.
Interspersed with the houses are many small business including kiosks selling a wide assortment of random things from food to cleaning products, pubs where we fill Garrett's cases of beer, our local tailor, and of course, the 24 hour massage establishment.
We are both still trying to convince the other to go first and establish whether this is a legitimate massage place or more. The woman on the sign looks pretty relaxed!
