The Eritreans that I was/am friends with have since left the neighborhood, but we have several others that live in this area now. They do like to go out for their evening “walk” especially the older folks. There was another African lady in our neighborhood about a year and a half ago. She wasn’t Northern African. I forget which country she was from. She was visiting her daughter for several months. She would “pace” around the neighborhood everyday. Maybe she was bored while her daughter was at work. She would always speak to me even though she spoke very little English, but somehow we communicated pretty well with each other which was surprising. Really nice lady. I wish she would come back for another visit.
We have other Africans here, too. Just recently, I’ve been seeing a middle-aged woman in a long skirt and something like a turban on daily walks. The Eritrean ladies wear their cotton-gauze gowns year-round, with coats in the winter!
