Lots of activity goes on around me the closer we get to the supper hour – boys kicking a soccer ball, kids climbing trees, and the squeak of the swings can be heard between the laughter and the squeals. All of a sudden the sounds come to an end and the streets are empty again as they all head home for their meal. It reminds me of long summer days in Canada – as soon as the street lights go on, the kids go home.
In the evening, the family eats outside on the veranda and enjoy family time together.
