On our last village visit....

As with almost all of our village visits, the kids seem to come from no where to see the new "white people!" It's always fun to goof around and try and talk to them as each village around here speaks a different dialect or entirely different language. Of course, getting everyone to smile for a picture........well, that's another story......

and then the rain!!!!

This shot was taken just 2 and 1/2 hours after the previous two in the dust storm. The rain came in full force and was absolutely incredible to see again after a six month break with only heat and dust.....

Couldn't see a THING!

At one point - we had to just stop driving cause visibility dropped to "0!" It was pretty crazy to see this kinda of wheather in April - but exciting none the less, cause we all knew what follows dust storms like these!

Killer Dust Storm!!!

It was around noon when it hit Ouaga this week. Just getting out of the truck to take this picture, I couldn't see or breathe - it was totally awesome!!!
