We arrived in Fianar in the dark, so we really didn't get a sense of what everything looked like until the next day. I took this picture [double click on it to view it large] out our upstairs window on the first morning (since I was up at 4:30 and couldn't fall back to sleep). You can see houses along the hillsides - everything is sprawling and terraced, built on the slopes. The roads are unpaved - which is why I slipped and fell the other night as we walked home from the office next door (I now have a lovely purple bruise on my right side!).
In the yard you can see the turkey sitting on a car parked near the clotheslines. The edge of the wall is lined with large shards of bottle glass sticking straight up, to prevent intruders from climbing over the wall; for some reason, this actually makes me feel quite safe!
