We are staying in a lovely little hotel in a quiet (very quiet, which is something you don’t get in Africa) neighborhood outside of town. There is a wonderful bakery next door that suits our needs for coffee and pastries beautifully. We don’t speak any German, and not many people here speak French or Kabiye, so we have to rely on the ones who know English and guess at the rest. Facing a language barrier is always humbling, you can feel so helpless!!!
I love how clean it is here. The hotel is spotless, the air is wonderfully fresh, and these people seem to recycle habitually. We’ve had perfectly cool weather- what a welcome relief, and some rain but always at just the right time to not disturb our plans! Anyway, those of you who know me know that I love a great rainstorm (right Claire?), and there was a beautiful display of heavy rain, thunder, lightening, and even small hail yesterday.
We are exhausted, happy, and blessed to be able to see so much of God’s creation, both in landscape, and in different people. We are also ready to see all of you that we love and miss so much!
