Hallelujah!



Where there are clouds, soon will there be rain! In fact, it has rained a couple times in the last week and it's fantastic. All of the farmers are rushing to their fields to start seeding their millet. This could be the start of the rainy season (and end of the HOT season)! Yahoo!

All is well here. We are cuurently enjoying the peak of the mango season. They grow mangoes like we grow apples. They are everwhere. And they're dirt cheap. Sonia bought seven the other day for the equivalent of $.06 US. The only problem is that they are kind of messy to eat. But that's not stopping us.

Not much else to report. Just busy gearing up for our various community projects on the horizon.

Oh, and we wanted to share a picture of our little friend Delphiné, the daughter of our closest neighbor. She comes to greet us every morning before she gets all dirty (which only takes a matter of minutes). When we first arrived she screamed every time she saw us (something quite common here). But now we're ol' buddies. And despite the competition, she is starting to warm up to Sonia. She's too cute...
