The historical marker for our housing area...
Old Hospital Compound
Formed in 1850
The front of Old Hospital Area
Talk about your "gated community" haha
The wall is rumored to have been built to keep out mosquitoes carrying malaria, but they know that can't be true since the wall was built WAY before they found out about malaria!
Still funny to think they thought mosquitoes wouldn't be able to fly high enough to get over the wall!
The steps up to the higher ground where we live...
If you look back up to the picture above, you can see the steps...

Isn't it so nice to get settled and to know you're staying a while??? I am beyond impressed that Nolan put all of that together the very day you got it from IKEA...I think I already told you that we needed several beers (or it might have been bottles of wine, I can't remember) to get through putting together our IKEA desk and 3 bookshelves, and even then there was talk of an annulment! ;) Just kidding...about the annulment...we really did drink quite a bit before the furniture was done!
It looks so great! I love older homes, especially ones with interesting history! I love all the windows, as well! Keep us updated with pictures!
