Hot times...

Just wanted to do a quick post and put up some pictures. I've been meaning to do so for a while but keep forgetting. All is well in Kankan, it is really really hot. I've been trying to push the guys at my organization to put a pool in the backyard so that we can work, cool off, work some more, I can teach swimming lessons and then call it a day... they laugh now but just wait and see! I just had dinner with a good friend/co-worker, we dined on fried plantains (little sweet bananas fried in oil, sugar and a little salt), scrambled eggs and a salad. What a weird combo, right? Well let me tell you it was delicious, and the only thing I've eaten all day long. Maybe thats why it tasted so good. Quick funny story, I've been sleeping with my windows open because of the heat, and the other night I awoke to this really loud noise. It sounded like a person scampering around my house, well more like a mouse, but it was so loud. I shot up out of bed and turned on my headlamp... it was a huge cockroach! He was just running circles around my house making all kinds of noise. Cockroach... a reoccuring theme, n'est-ce pas? But anyway he had no idea what was coming and I dropped one of my sandals on him, after a nice resounding SPLAT he was no more. I didn't feel like disposing of the body so I left him on the floor, when I got up I found that the army ants had taken care of him... no idea where they took him, he's probably long gone. But he no longer lives in my house. Needless to say I had a carpenter come over and put some screens on my windows and doors to keep out the bugs, heres hoping they stay out! Anyway time for some pics...



I see you baby, shaking that...

Just another day at the Milo River
