Apparently my room is 29 degrees C and 81% humidity tonight. We have had sporadic water in the hotel...so I'm paying $12 for a room to take bucket showers. However, I am in love with the ceiling fan, though my body should be adjusted by the time I am back in village full time.
Yes, I’m babbling. 8:30 to 18:45 was spent driving to, having, and waiting for 5 meetings; most of which were not short. All were held in one or more languages, only one of which I have basic knowledge. Amazingly, my brain did not explode from the French overload, and was still taking information in.
That said, I’m going to go take a bucket shower in my hotel room, crawl under my mosquito net, and pass out.

...so how many cups of tea did you have in those five meetings??
NONE!!!! the complete disaster of working in a french colony is that tea is rarely drunk (read: i drink it every day in village because i prepare it myself....there is much saddness over this.) however, good bread is always available.
