Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas. I just wanted to let you know that I added captions to all of my the pictures I put up in the last few posts and I added links to my friends blogs so that you can see what they are up to. So, check out all the new stuff and I'm sorry I haven't gotten a good post up lately, but there has been a lot going on and I'll get you updated soon.

Enjoy your friends and family for me during the holiday season. It's a strange/difficult time to be away from home. Fortunately, we will all be back into our normal routines soon enough. I'll be heading back out to my region in a couple of days. Hopefully from there I'll be able to sit down and really type a detailed post.

New Pictures

I've posted some new pictures. I hope you enjoy them.

Most of them are of my house and concession and things around it. I don't want to start pulling my camera out in the village just yet. But, soon I'll have a well documented account of what every thing looks like. You know all the hot spots and places I frequently pass, like the water pump, the office, the market, the road, the guy with the horse. You know, stuff like that.

There are also some shots of the food we had for Thanksgiving. ***Warning*** There is a picture of a headless turkey.

Right now, I'm back in Niamey. Tomorrow we get picked up to go back to Hamdallaye for In-Service Training (IST). We will be there for two weeks doing technical training sessions.

I'll have pretty "regular" internet access and I'll have my phone charged and on and with service for at least the next two weeks. So I'll be easier than normal to get in touch with if anyone needs me.

Well, this is taking longer than I thought to post the pictures, so I'll get y'all something to read soon.

Take care and thank you so much for all of your support.
