I've been flung into summer!

It is hot and beautiful here. Bright and sunny as we have come during harvest season, which is dry season.  And I will most likely come home sunburnt.

I woke up at 6 am to the graying pre-dawn light, and the calls to prayers sounding across the quiet morning air.  They call every morning at six. I think it is my favourite alarm clock ever.

We went and toured a hospital this morning.  A very interesting experience, it sure has made our group appreciate Canadian Health Care.  Then, for a complete change of pace, we went shopping on Chruchill Road, which looks like it is completely made up of small open shop fronts with scarves and t-shirts, purses and dresses hanging from the ceiling and blowing in the breeze.

I should have a few pictures to put up later.

We are on our way out this afternoon to start doing some classes for a program, and begin the check-up medicals for this trip.

I am very grateful this trip for all the Italian food they have here, as it keeps something rather familiar in the day while we adjust to everything else being different.  I have eaten a lot of pizza, and last night I had some very delicious ravioli in tomato sauce. ^_^

But that's all for now folks!
I'll update more later.....
