Our days of mud and muck outside the front door may soon be a fond memory. Progress has made it to our street corner. Now we wait to see if the men and women on the wheelbarrows turn up Rue 460 - or leave us as an oasis of mud in concrete surrounds ....
Street 123 - runs north-south and intersects with our Street 460. This will make the run to Psar Tou Tom Pong (the Russian Market) a breeze!
Looking up our street 460 from the corner. The friendly local store is on the right - where we buy our 10 litre containers of purified water twice a week.
The workers and their street-making concrete mixer
Why concrete? I understand that the amount of rain here is tough on the tar-sealed roads, getting underneath and eroding the base. Concrete is less susceptible to erosion and collapse - I'm told.
