Yesterday was sweltering, a taste of the mini hot season that comes in October after the rains dry up. I think I sweated out every last drop of moisture in my body last night as I lay in bed praying for the electricity to come back on and power my ceiling fan. (Power outages are an almost daily occurence here.) It ended up raining early this morning, so today will be cooler, but it's typical for temperatures to hover around 100 F. Hotter in the aptly-named hot season.

Also, a big shout out to Hasi, who was the first in our group to get malaria! She's back from the clinic now and well on the road to recovery.

Yay photos! Looks amaaazing over there. I like the photo of the guy who seems to be drumming on someone's helmet (?) hahaha. please explain. Well, dear Tamumu, take care:). Don't get malaria.

P.S. It's 1:20 AM right now and I'm studying for the GRE, but it ain't the same without you sitting across the room, also studying this late! People here don't do the late night thing :(
