I haven't been able to write the past few days, I was sick as a dog and am finally recovering from a illness that I've never experienced back home.. I'll spare you the details...
I was planning on writing about our favorite time of the day here.. Most of the day, it is hot. So hot and the sun so blinding its not worth going outside, unless you plan on stepping into a pool.
Usually around 6 or so, Michelle , myself or both of us (if we're lucky) , will take the twins out for a walk. the temperature has cooled off, the sun is below the tree line and so it makes for a very nice walk..
But what is most amazing about the walk is the sky... Every night, without a hitch , comes the most amazing sunsets. Of course, we live in the city, so our view is not that great, but the sky surrounding us in so pretty that you have to stop and stare. If your were to see it a few nights, you might not be that impressed, but the consistency with which they occur is impressive.
We usually walk the same route around the block, passing Northside school and heading back home, and usually encounter the same characters every night. Security guards hanging out outside the homes, some of the maids who work in the neighborhood heading home. They know us and our kids and always say hello with a huge, bright smile.
Michelle headed out to Hikunsti today, a very remote village out in the middle of nowhere. She got there by a small propeller plane, hopefully she'll return in one as well. The doctor she
is going with told her the pilot had a hard time starting the plane the last time he went on this trip.. so that made me feel confident.
she'll be writing the next post to give you some info. on her trip and what she's been up to at the clinic.

Pictures are pretty self explanatory. One is of our laundry hanging in the noon day sun... which really does a good job of drying our clothes, feels like cardboard when they are done. The
other is of the clouds at sunset.. I may have already posted this image.
