It rained!

And just like that things started to grow. Brown earth has become green again. grass is there, trees have leaves again and the sky has clouds. It is still very hot and not always comfortable, but the water makes a huge difference. Now food will mold instead of stale in a matter of hours! Actually it's great. It's the lean season now, since people are begining to plant crops, but there is nothing to harvest yet, and food stores from last year get low. I can only buy tomatoes sometimes in the market now, and they aren't very good. Grafted mangoes are back, though, and awesome.

One unfortunate thing is that the bugs have come back with the water. Not too many mosquitoes yet, but there are definitely more flys around. I'm well and the third term is underway. I'll be taking two of my students to the STARS conference in Kumasi in June, which will be exciting for them and for me. (more info in previous post). I also had some nice visitors the last weeks. Some other ghana pcvs came up and visited me. I also bought a bootleg dvd with all 6 starwars movies on it.

other than that, it's life as usual for me.
Love, Toby
