exploring the neighborhood

i don’t start work till wednesday, so the past few days i have been trying to acclimatise to my new sub tropical surroundings – not an easy task with 40+ degrees outside – but i’m making an effort. leaving my comfortable air conditioned home behind, i have ventured out to explore my neighborhood and the local markets. i’m still working on my photography skills, but here are some snapshots from the last couple of days.
