We got back into town yesterday. We took the scenic route home as the DC-3 made five stops to off-load supplies all across the country (one of which was overnight) before we landed on our own dirt airstrip. I was nervous about how it would feel to be back after having been gone for a few weeks but everything was hot and green and almost as happy to see us as we were to see it. We even had a big "Welcome Home" thunder storm that evening.
It must have rained a lot while we were gone. The hill behind our plot now has grass taller than me growing all over it that makes it look like a fuzzy something right out of a Dr. Seuss book. The wind blows the grass all different directions so it wakes up with hair a little like Bryan's in the morning.
Our compound now has a cement latrine and shower built so we are hoping to be able to move over in the next few weeks. I can't tell you how ready I am to be on our own place! But, there is still plenty to be done before that will happen - you know bathroom doors, water storage, charcoal oven - just the luxuries really. (: It's probably good though because this gives us something to look forward to and work towards. I can't wait to get a home set up for some of you to come see! - L
