This is our neighborhood.
From the bottom right-hand corner of the picture, proceed up (north) to the first left. On the right hand side, it is the first building, third door (west end of the building). If we knew Google Earth better, we would fly you in - but for now you may be able to see the Lat-Long in the bottom left hand corner.
We have a couple of trees in the front yard (south side), a couple in the back (north side). There is a passage along the west end of the building to get back and forth. The white item on our roof is not a chimney but a solar assisted hot water heater. In the desert, you see these all over the place.
The building in the top right of the picture is 'Choppies' our main grocery store. Just a short walk away. Just enough to survive, but we can't find trash bags or spaghette sauce yet. There is a bigger store at the nearby mall for the bigger shopping needs.
Right out our front door (southwest corner of the intersection you turned at to get to our flat) is the Thapapong Visual Arts Center. It seems to be an artistic co-op of some sort. Several small buildings with sculpture, welding, chain-saw, stone-chipping artisans. In the main building, are several small galleries with mostly oil and some other media hanging pieces. Also on this plot is a semi-trailer turned internet cafe (with no coffee). For P15, you can surf for an hour.
Out our back door (north) is a telecommunications station. Within the last year, a cell tower has been installed. The base is 5 feet from the back of our back yard fence.
A couple of blocks from the upper left-hand corner of the picture is the edge of the University of Botswana campus.

Very cool! Thank you for the map. I like having a visual of your where-abouts.
Big hugs to you 5.

This no coffee business is uncalled for! My deepest sympathies. If we send you some old crown in the mail, will it get radiated? Do you also need a coffee pot?????
