Somebody get me a blanket!

I've been hearing all this talk of the 'cold season' and it is on its way. The nights have gotten colder, so cold in fact, that I sleep with a fleece blanket. No, I'm not kidding and its actually quite pleasant. I wake up in the morning with a nice chill, then as the day goes on I work up a sweat. But I'll be MIA in a few short days. The new group of volunteers arrives the beginning of December and I was chosen to help train them. I'll be spending Thanksgiving in Conakry and then off to do the first two weeks of training. I'll have phone service but won't have internet until after the 12th of December. But I've been promising pictures, so without further a do....

My neighbors Hawa and Dalo, and my favorite little brother Alpha.
