This just in, I added a map to the bottom of the blog go look -now-

Silver and Cold

Just a quick update. Life is good, after several attempts I have finally managed to post some pictures on picassa. The Thanksgiving photos are cleverly titled "Thanksgiving 2008".

The temperature has taken a down swing and it is pleasant. I woke up freezing today and zipped my sleeping bag all the way up and covered my ears in the mummy hood. It was amazing! Kristy called me crazy, but admits she is often much colder then is pleasant. I know that you at home are reading this and thinking wow it must be cold as you are looking around and seeing the snow, sleet, and ice. The temperature is probably around 70 degrees but a 30 degree drop is going to change any ones mind about what cold really is.

It is hard to believe that in a few short weeks it will be the Winter Solstice and Christmas and then New Years. We will go to Nouakchott for X-mas and then off to St. Louis, Senegal for New Years! Hurray for a developed city in a partially developed country! There will be more to come and I will update about my classes soon.

Stay safe and warm.
