Cathy and Elson's house. This is much more typical of volunteer accom than my flat
All houses have gates, guards, and lots of broken glass on the walls. This is Cathy and Elson's place

The matata park in the centre of town. Gitarama bus station!


Shops in the main street. Of all the pics, this is the one which gives you the best impression of what the place is like.



This is right in the centre of town. We call it the acropolis. It was blitzed during the fighting in 1994. The day after I took the photo it was demolished as part of the general tidy up ahead of the Presidential visit!




Des res, anyone?





The countryside around Gitarama. Took this from the back of the office.














View across part of the town from the flat. The district office is very close to the radio mast (which keeps on and on getting hit by all the lightning we have).
