Chez-nous à Bujumbura (At home in Bujumbura)


Kevin and Richard our Security and Gardener
As you drive up to our apartment you have to honk the horn and Richard opens the door and lets you enter. 


It is a gated complex and there is a high wall surrounding it.  It is very secure.
Our trucks and apartment

Our apartment
Our apartment is the top floor where Phyllis is standing.  The far left window is our bedroom and the two on the right behind Phyllis are patio doors going into our living room.

Living room-Dining room-Office
This is what you see as you enter the door into our apartment.



Looking back from the living area across to the office area.

Our new desks
Looking into the Kitchen
Notice bananas and pineapples on the floor before being bleached.
More kitchen


Stove is half electric and half propane.  Notice that we have a microwave and our small shelves are full.
 Air conditioned Master bedroom with kingsize bed complete with mosquito net
We haven't seen a mosquito yet!
Large master bath with jacuzzi tub but we prefer to shower.
Guest bedroom
Guest bathroom (with shower)
View from Patio looking north
This is a beautiful spot in the morning and very hot in the afternoon.
View from patio looking south
Back yard and workers residence.
View from kitchen and if you look closely you can see the Burundian mountains
We are at the end of the rainy season and we get a little thunder and rain shower every night.
As you can see we are in a very beautiful spot and have a very nice apartment.  We are not suffering.
We have been here for four days and are just getting to know the city a little.  Elder and Sister Frogley have been a great help to us.  We will hopefully have so pictures of the city for our next blog.
