This is a house half of block away from our house, we use to play in their back yard, they had a lot of mango trees,the family that owned the house, left the country and this once beautiful house is now used for government cultural affairs, ...I have many more pictures and all of them with a story, but I wanted you to see the architecture details, not even the shadow of what it once was.

I am sorry I didn't realize it was in another country. That is really sad that it got so run down and your childhood memories are now so bittersweet!
