Rains in Africa

The short rainy season has begun. The dusty streets are now soggy with a mud that cakes to the bottoms of your shoes. The potholes in the road are filled with an orange water that splashes me when cars drive by. Thankfully it mostly rains at night, but it can continue into the morning hours which makes walking to work a tricky task... like today.



Someone lifted my bag in clinic today. It's not a big deal, but the principle of stealing from a volunteer stinks. It was a bag that I had sewn several years ago, but inside my bag was an umbrella and my raincoat. I was super bummed. But my spirits lifted when I realized I had brought an umbrella to give as a gift that I will keep instead. Then I was super bummed again when I realized it had a Dook symbol on it and I will have to carry it around for the next month.
