Driving in Africa - taking your life in your hands




This is Elder Herbert on his first drive on the left hand side. Notice the fence in the back - that surrounds our apartment building - where our flat is. We have a little remote to open the gate so we can leave. Straight across the street is the Howard Centre which is a little shopping center with a bank, post office, grocery store, pharmacy (the chemist) and Woolworths - kind of a department store.







And here he is after we made it to the office!! What a feat! He is a master of concentration and driving dexterity!! I am so proud of him. He really is a good driver - the traffic is unbelievable. People constantly cut in front of you - they just put on the blinker and turn in. How do you like our cute little car? I am having a hard time getting used to sitting in the driver's seat and not driving. We both walk to the wrong side when we go to get in!



This is how our car fits in our garage - not a lot of storage space in there, but we are grateful to even have a car and a garage. Yes, we made it home after our jaunt to the office. It was on Saturday, our P day, that's why no suit and tie. We now realize that we should wear P day clothers only at home and dress up if we are leaving our apartment.
