During the coronavirus, I've been doing almost all of my grocery shopping at Sable Square, a shopping center just between the town of Kisongo and the Arusha airport. Usually, we always went all the way into Arusha and did most of our shopping at Shoppers, which is a bit bigger and often cheaper, but these days I prefer not to go all the way into the city. Sable Square is a bit closer (still about a forty-minute drive) and is right off the highway, so I can avoid city traffic. I'm trying not to go any more than necessary both because of the virus and because I don't want to risk a car that's not mine.
It was a beautiful evening, with nice views of Mt Meru in the distance, so I took some pictures before going in to get my groceries. Also, I have learned in my years living in different places to take photos of the ordinary, everyday spaces and activities. When moving away, it's nice to have memories of the grocery store and the bank and the street you live on. So, here's the Sable Square shopping center, which is easily the nicest one I visit on a regular basis. It's built in a South African architectural style. Unfortunately, quite a few of the shops are empty these days as a lot of the expat community in the area that shopped there have moved away with the more difficult immigration issues these days.
