So this weekend we're heading "upcountry" for a little vacation. Well deserved, I gotta say. We hired one of NSGA's drivers to take us to his village and show us around. We're staying in a hotel with a pool that usually doesn't have algae :) I'll take it. I'm sure I'll have some adventures to talk about when I get back.

The night before last we had a thunder and lightning storm. It was SPECTACULAR! We got woken up by the thunder around 2 or 3am. The thunder and lightning was non-stop for ages. There were no breaks at all. Just crashing bang after crashing bang and the sky was lit up continuously. Melanie came over to mine and Alison's room and we stayed up and watched the storm for a while. It was pouring rain so we had to run around trying to shut all our windows. Turns out you can't even close most of them fully. So Melanie stayed in my double bed until her tanktop got soaked :)

I don't know what the temperature here was yesterday but it was overcast and it rained off and on. My morning class was a little sluggish and Oumie (my Gambian colleague for that class) said it might be because they were cold. LOL. And there I am sucking back water and feeling like I might just melt into a puddle. I don't know how they'd survive in Canada but they all want to visit. Better bring fur pants.

See ya! b
