a change of scenery...this is actually in Niger. sarah & i discovered this beautiful, green, hilly land...ahhh. too bad its hours from us.


me and the bush taxi driver...remember from below, 15 folks? only two had on deo...can you imagine?!? don't forget the temp here. yep, it wasn't too nice, but you can see i was smiling...or maybe that was for another reason!


sarah and i ... how do two girls living in niger entertain themselves? tell stories, sing, make faces, make things...on this day we even stooped so low as to play MASH. oh my! thank God we have one another for entertainment!



this is my friend, A. he's more than a friend. he is like a brother. he spends most his time chez moi...he shall be greatly missed.

pics, hopefully
