I am still alive folks.

The hot season is upon us and now I spend 12-4pm everyday trying to not to move. It is so hot my deordorant and soap melted. My handle bars to my bike melt in my hands! And the worst is yet to come because every villager has said "just you wait Adama, it will be wuli buy in april and may.
I have started sleeping outside on my mat in the backyard. It is too hot to sleep in my hut at night.
I was in village for a really long time during this month. I think the count was 19 days and man at the end of the 19 days I NEEDED to leave. I was coming back from a 30K bike ride to another village on a sunday, where the meeting in said villlage was useless, and on the way back we got caught in a forest fire (nothing like huge, it was just smoke and heat) and upon arrival I hear my villagers arguing about something in the our equivilant of the town meeting hall (under the mango tree.) They (thank god) were arguing about the village garden they want to build and when they finished they presented to me some papers which they had written down what they wanted and what seeds they wanted. I asked them the dimensions of the garden because I wanted to do pricing in Kolda.
It took 45 minutes to explain this. All I could think was I need to get to kolda. I turned to Aliou and was like "can I get a car to Kolda right now?"
'bismillah adama' which means 'hell if I know but allah welcome you. "
So i booked it back stuffed my bag and headed out at about 5:30. I was laughing hysterically as I left my village and talking to myself. My sanity was unraveling.
Then the worst thing possible happened. I did not get a car. Waited until it was dark and then the butik owners came out and were like "adama it is bad to travel at night, you should wait till tomorrow.'
I live 3K off the road but the path is not bikeable in the dark. The fact that I lost my back brakes about 3 weeks ago did not help. I was inconsoble. Walking back to my village when I had hoped to eat a burger, watch a movie and sleep undisturbed for 8 hours was demoralizing. I love my village and my family but I was so upset that I could not sit out with my family. It was sounds extreme but when you have bad days, they can build up and be really bad.
I have more to write but I need to go.
However the true reason for this post is this.
I updated my shutterfly like whoa. So check out my pictures.
AAAAAANNNNND
