While in Fatick, I went up on the roof of Sherrill's house to get a better view of the houses and layout of the land.  You will notice that the houses appear to be made of a type of brick--- these bricks usually hold up well, but since they are poorly made, when the rainy season comes you will find many houses with walls that have fallen in.  And as I mentioned before, most all houses have some type of fence around them.  This gives them a little privacy.  They usually keep these yards fairly clean, but just outside the walls, on the streets, you will find all kinds of trash, sand, animals (goats, mostly).  These goats seem to know not to wander off, even the little babies, which are really quite cute.
This house is right across the street from us.

Just to the left and across the street is this house.  I like that the fences give them a sense of privacy and security for the children to play.

Looking right, is this view.

Just to my right, next door.

Our backyard friends, Sheep - their ears lay down

Front yard, goats- their ears stand up.

A quiet resting place, the bench in front of Sherrill's house.

They try to find ANY shade they can, even if it's just a sliver of it!
