Sweaty days....!

With a daily temp often peaking above 105 degrees, NOT having air conditioning is getting to be a challenge!!! I'm learning to cope with the heat by visiting the cyber cafe' quite often and taking full advantage of the local 12-3pm sieste! In the past couple weeks, I've learned a lot about the Muslim way of life, beliefs, and world view. It's been an eye opener here due to the fact that over 45% of the population claim to be followers of the Islamic faith. We will soon be traveling to the far north to the town of Gorom Gorom for an authentic village stay with a Tuareg family!! Personally - I can't wait! Keep checking back for some awesome pics upon our return around the first week of November!

Good times


Okay, so I'm the only one with the head wrap
on here; but that's usually not the case - true story!
We were just goofing around and I thought I'ld give this
thing a try.........

The simple life


Just outside of Ouaga, we venture into
yet another small Mossi village.....
