This is a picture we took just other evening as we biked into town. We just wanted a pretty sunset picture but happened to catch an over-loaded truck passing an onion toting donkey cart. Pretty typical around here.
The time is really starting to fly by. We're in the final stretch of our Peace Corps service and now starting to seriously look to what lies ahead. It's hard to believe that we first touched ground here way back on October 5th, 2007.
Our first order of business after leaving Burkina Faso is to explore a few other corners of the world. As it's currently planned, we're going to set off on a 2 1/2 month backpacking trip and head East until we make it back to the States (assuming we don't fall off the edge of the world). Flights are purchased but were still working out all the routes in between. More to come on this front so stay tuned.
All that said, we still have activities in village that are keeping us busy and our minds occupied on the couple months of work still remaining. We've gotten strangly accustomed to our new way of life here, so we're really just trying to soak it up a bit more knowing how much we'll miss this place and these people when we eventually say goodbye.
The three hairy amigos: Café, Mocha and Dickie.
More soap making. With all this dust, cleanliness is key.
Going to miss anothe Super Bowl. Hope someone can tape it for me. Go Saints!
