This is a photo of John's hangar, which is in front of his house (you can see a corner of the house in the right side of the photo). His bamboo bed and mosquito net are underneath. Unlike my hangar, his has oilcloth on top, which helps keep the rain out, and flaps on the side, which you can fold down for shade and to block sandy wind. We do most of our hanging out underneath the hangar. The three oil drums in the foreground are where we keep our water for bathing, drinking, cooking, washing, etc. It costs about $1.50 to have a full barrel delivered, and we need a new one about every week. Kids ride by on donkey carts with water barrels strapped to the back, so you have to flag one down and then pay him. And you use a flexible rubber tube to siphon water out of the barrel. It takes some getting used to, but we've had a lot of practice by now!

Yeah Cortney! Thank you for posting pictures of my forgetful son. I hope he shares some of the goodies we've been sending.
Take care!
