Day 69

SUNSET FROM OUR ROOFTOP:  I wanted to catch this sunset with the sun a little higher in the sky but was a few minutes later than I would have liked.  Here is what awaited me when I arrived on the rooftop.  The mosque is a 4-5 minute walk from our apartment.  I would have loved to have those birds fly between me and the sun!

MAGAZINE STAND Operator where I buy the South Asian version of the Reader’s Digest every month.  It is a special treat for Alice, which pleases her every time I buy it.
