new apartment

Here is what our apartment looks like from the outside front. 
The building has 4 units, we are one of 2 on the bottom and there are two upstairs.  Across a wall from us there is an identical building.  The apartment is a bit smaller than the house we lived in before, but still plenty of room (maybe except the kitchen, which is more of a "kitchenette").  The biggest thing to adjust to is the yard and the whole privacy factor.  At the house we had a big yard and it was surrounded by a high cement wall.  Here there are bricked pathways around the building and any of the building's other residents or visitors could pass by a few feet away from my windows at any time. Curtains aren't just decorative here!

 

This picture is taken from the roof of our building and is what part of our street looks like.  There are a lot of sheep and goats in our street, here you just see a few sheep, but if you were to go down a bit further there is a herd of about 25 goats hanging out in the street.  Our dog Teddy now makes an effort to avoid them as he was head-butted by a protective mama the other day.
The street here is also filled with small children and quite a bit of debris.  There is a lot of construction going on and within the neighborhood the roads are unpaved and very rough.
