After a few hours of wiping, dusting, sweeping and reorganizing, we were again comfortably settled in the house. Also finally managed to add a little more decor in the living room with some local flavor wall hangings. Our washing machine is unfortunately still missing its door, but the shower, refrigerator and stove (with temperamental oven) are working well.
The rains are in full swing with some heavy downpours at night. Positive features of the season include some cooler temperatures and colorful plants. The negatives are more mosquitoes, muddy roads and a longer time for clothes to dry on the line.
Our frequent visitor friend, Andy, along with two GYN colleagues, continue to perform more of their important fistula repair. While they were here, we made delicious pizza together one evening and enjoyed a couple of cappuccinos down the road at "Wooden."
Back to a quiet house now and into our usual routines. Jim is always busy at the hospital and I am finding my way around the recently re-arranged open market. Evidently, a large market building is in the process of being constructed in the same general area although progress looks a bit slow. Asara, a young girl of about thirteen, seems to easily find me in the midst of a crowd and is ever ready with her large container to carry my groceries atop her head. She and her friends enjoyed a good laugh when I attempted to hold it atop mine.
