What's New? Same ole same ole...

What has been going on here? Not exactly a whole lot. It's been getting hotter by the day and night. Hottest so far about 115 during the day. I tried to go to sleep at 105 one night. That was an impossible feat. On windy days there is another reason I cannot walk around, other than the incredible heat and direct, searing sun: the sand storms. So all in all it's pretty miserable to be here.
There's been no new work related developments. Though they celebrated bob marley's death, so I went to the english club's meeting at the high school. Gag me, right? Quite ridiculous.
I've also planted about 200 tree sacks to do a tree nursery. If you looked through my pictures of my town (Guinguineo) you'll notice a lack of green. I'm hoping to put a splash of color into this desert sand. That's really time intensive, so what I'll probably be doing most of my time. That is most of the time when it's cool and I want to do more than sit in my room. Ha.
This next month looks better though. I'm going to Dakar soon, relax, and to buy tickets to go to Cape Verde. Yep, vacation time the end of July. Jessica and I are going to three of the islands off the coast of Senegal. Have you ever heard of Cape Verde? Probably not. Look them up, they are quite beautiful. Flying into Santiago, then hiking around the amazing mountains of St. Antao, and up the volcano of Fogo. Hopefully I'll be able to put us some amazing photos.
As far as Senegal, I'm hoping to travel down to the National Park in the Southeast, as well as to St. Louis and over to Podor.
After that, who knows what I'll do. It'll be about a year in.

Here are some pictures!
Not doing a lot here. It's entering the hot season. There was a sand storm the other day.
I took a trip down south close to The Gambia.
