The long lane our building is on.  Our building is the tall one on the
left.  We're on the third floor overlooking this alley, though at the far
end of the building.  I wonder if any of those clothes are ours.  
We generally didn't hang clothes to dry outdoors; we generally only hung
sheets (because we didn't have space indoors).  Hanging sheets on those
long poles is a scary task! <br /> The alley is visible in this picture:
it's on the left, just in front of our building.  Walking down the alley
about twenty feet, turn right, and you're in the courtyard (previously
photographed).
