We stayed with cousin Gladys for the first part of our visit. Gladys lives in Karu, a town just outside the capital city, Abuja. Everyones life is controlled by the traffic, there is only 1 road connecting the 2 cities.
The entry to the compound where Gladys lives, the little house up past the driveway. Everyone has generators and water tanks.
