We had the opportunity to visit the home and neighborhood of one of Kyra's birth mom's friends. Most homes here are made out of cement block with no siding or drywall. Some are made of pieces of metal and wood. The windows and doors are open. No screens, no doors. Most are one room. Cooking is done outside and usually the bathroom is outside as well. The homes are in groups very close together. The apartment we are staying in is considered a mansion here. It is common to see dogs running around - no owners, no leashes. None have given us any trouble. Rick went to a walk up ATM and there was a dog taking a nap. We are thankful we have had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in and learn about Kyra's culture and heritage.
