actually up to date

Just for reference, those last two entries were old from a week or two ago, im now back in Kédougou and running around all crazy like! Its great. some guys from Trees for The Future are here right now, former Peace Corps volunteers from kédougou of all places and ive been going round with them checking out fields and figuring out what were going to do this coming year. Weve a meeting with the farmers federation tomorrow morning which will be cool as they seem really eager to work with trees for the future and are on a bit of a high after sorting out some food shipments to the mines. Also went and checked out a garden were going to try and get irrigation for from the Israelis as well as visiting my counterparts field to go through what were going to do there this year. What else what else, first internet trip away from nice fast internet, ive got a douch but no wall around it but also have a mbar(shade structure) in from of my hut as its sooooo fucken hot here now. I believe yesterday it was 105 in the shade good times as its no where near the hottest part of the year yet! Anyway im off to the border with Mali tomorrow so ill be out of touch for a while.
And sarah a few things about the letters, social taboos, men and women dont hold hands, multiple wives are a-ok, left hand = poop hand(dont ask), and a few other things. year of the Ox, slow and steady, i think i can work with that, fits a bunch of shit going on in my life at the moment, lang, work, social stuff, personal stuff, good times. thanks for the letters and packages even if they do get destroyed along the way and things taken out of them, weak sauce senegal, weak sauce. Ah well fun bike ride and then nursery season, great times ahead! stay in touch people!
Oh yea Man U- Inter Milan this evening, lets go you red devils! Special one my ass
