Hooray! Bagre's getting pretty again. I got back to site after being gone for almost a month and I had flashbacks to my very first site visit, almost a year ago. (We've been in Burkina over a year now- just feel like I should mark that milestone.)
To fully enjoy the loveliness of my world now I've been doing a lot of biking around; that also may have something to do with the fact that I have nothing to do at site. That may seem weird to folks at home (how can you not have anything to do? You're in the Peace Corps in Africa, shouldn't you be like feeding starving children or something?) Okay, maybe. But my role is as a teacher, and the school year is over, and everybody is out in the fields cultivating all day. I'm hoping to do other projects later in the summer after I get back from being a trainer (be ready: pleas for funding are forthcoming) but right now I am just kind of hanging out and waiting to go up to Ouahigouya. Oh, and watching a lot of World Cup with my neighbors.
End note: There is simply NOT a lot going on in my world right now. And these blog posts are just going to keep getting lamer. I'd be happy to take suggestions- if anyone has a topic they want to hear about I can pretty much talk about anything at length.
Babies! I want to hear about babies. Having babies, feeding babies, carrying babies, what babies wear. Babies.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a picture of the birds you said make so much noise in the morning...(not the chickens)
ReplyDeleteShow us textures!!! I want to see all the different types of textures, like food and stuff. OOO and i think you should document the chicken in the bag thing that you said was delicious!
