African Labor Day

I woke up this morning at 9 am. Oh the sweet bed. I loved it. Of course, I felt sticky as it was a humid night. Allthough I had taken a shower the night before I refused to be sticky the entire day that I intended to get so refreshment. So, I started the day with a nice shower.

Since the guys were not working, the generator had not been turned on yet. So, I packed up my bags and walked over to the Murtoff's house. They have a nice large porch where I was able to sit in fairly comfortable chairs and read a book. It was very relaxing but the humidity of the day was definitely present. The guys had gone hunting so it was just myself, Marty Murtoff, and Jan Cone. We had this great lunch. Than I went back to the front porch to work on a few things. Of course, my computer only has so much battery so I had to go over to the garage and ask the guy to turn on the generator. That was interesting as he did not understand my very broken and horrible sango and I didn't understand his perfect sango. We worked it out and I went back to the sticky porch. I worked for a few more hours and then I began to read some more.

Around 4 this beautiful rain came to break the humidity and it miraculously cooled down. The sunset was fantastic. The colors of the sunset right after a rain are amazing. I wish I could have taken a picture but my camera never does the sunsets here justice.

At the end of the day, I do find myself slightly refreshed but I feel like I need another day. I did realize that I have been very frustrated lately b/c I want the guys to understand this stuff without much instruction on my part so that is not as necessary for me to come back. Yet, they don't get it that fast. I need to be more patient. I need to release my control freakish grip. They will learn it but I must be patient and consistant. Let's see how tomorrow goes when I am once again stuck in a small office (that smells) and the communication stinks.
