it's so hot

me and mala are finishing our second day of continued research and writing at the UNFPA office in Matam with our binomes. there is air conditioning in the teensy office the four of us are sharing, and really that's the only thing that matters, because it's 111 F outside. well, that and the fact that we have wi-fi.

off to mala to adjouter something before we head back to la maison...

(c'est mala) i have to admit that 5 years ago, i would be complaining incessently about the condition here - we have a limited supply of potable water, the heat is overwhelming, and the days are slowing down considerably; however, both of us have a great rapport with our binomes, we're actually doing work and using the research meghan, veena, and i slaved over compiling for PDPM, so if this apparent rainly season comes, we'll be better with cooler temperatures. secure us a fridge to keep water cooler than boiling, and i'll be set.

pictures of our life in Matam to come.
