Susan in the Sahara: March 2009
http://susanrsahara.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Susan in the Sahara. Monday, March 16, 2009. They Were Riding Six Wire Horses. The next day we started out on the bike trip after a nice hearty breakfast of rice and onion sauce. Dogons are known for their onion farming. When we passed a large field of them Joe . Before I paint too rosie a picture of the serene time we had in this beautiful town here are two pictures of us at the sign in town. This one is where we have literally beat the children off with a stick so they aren't in the picture. Anythin...

http://kellysafricablog.blogspot.com/2009/08/so-yes-new-stage-has-been-here-for.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2009. So, yes, the new stage has been here for almost a month! Except we seem to be having a tomato rot thing going on, and a caterpillar problem. Boo caterpillars. But I'm growing container potatoes, which is fantastic, and they are really starting to come up now! I'll describe the process in detail sometime, because it is amazing. But I feel it deserves some pictures, and it is raining outside right now, so I'm not going to go out and take them. Later, though. Susan in the Sahara.

Kelly's Africa Blog: July 2009
http://kellysafricablog.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 10, 2009. So we are excited about them getting here, but it turns out that organizing and preparing for a training like this is a HUGE ordeal, and we have been working our little fingers and other things off since I got back from America. Hopefully we are ready for them. And if we aren't, hopefully they are forgiving. I did get to go back to my site for about a week during all this, and it was nice to be back. It actually wasn't great, because our well ran dry. A manye dat! The contents of t...

http://kellysafricablog.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. Sam, Susan and I in a rare moment off of training. Sunday, January 25, 2009. So this upcoming week of IST our homologues are coming. Right now, my homologue a ma na follo. Which means she is missing. I am curious if she will come, because it would be really helpful! Yesterday we got to see a snake guy! Saturday, January 24, 2009. I'm going to make this picture thing work yet. Slow going, but here's a sample! Bamagan (big) and Sawu (little) were two of my host sisters in Behon...

Susan in the Sahara: Velo
http://susanrsahara.blogspot.com/2008/10/velo.html
Susan in the Sahara. Friday, October 17, 2008. I have a bike, finally. Our bikes were caught in customs, I guess, but mine arrived at my door Wednesday evening. A total surprise, brand new, shiny and. pink. I've never had a new fancy bike, and this is a nice Trek bike. But it is a girl's bike, a concept I don't really understand. Maybe after biking in a skirt I'll appreciate a "girl's" bike, I'll get back to you on that. Why pink, is my real question? Womanyou crack me up. I love it! Loved the bicycle - ...

Susan in the Sahara: April 2009
http://susanrsahara.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Susan in the Sahara. Friday, April 24, 2009. Just a short post, I promise I'm working on a long boring one. It is the start of hot season. So far it has only got to 100 degrees inside my house once. I don't count all the times it has been 99.9, or 99.7. That is not 100! Best not to think about that. On a more positive note; with the searing heat that causes back-of-the-knees sweat, come mangoes. They are amazing! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Granola and/or Granola Bars. Dried Fruits and Veggies. T-Shirts ...

Kelly's Africa Blog: October 2008
http://kellysafricablog.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. But so, its about 60 km from Kita, my banking town/rainy season market town (PC really didn’t come through with that one), to my village. And doing this ride has done nothing but increase my respect for century riders. Because 60 km is what, 35 miles? Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Well, they have those signs in small-town Mali, too. Except instead of Rotary International and the Lions Club (actually, Rotary is represented) it is which countries and international aid organi...

Kelly's Africa Blog: Scary, scary
http://kellysafricablog.blogspot.com/2009/05/scary-scary.html
Friday, May 15, 2009. One of my last days in village before going "en vacance" to, Inshallah, Ameriki, Inshallah, I was caught in a little miniature cattle stampede. Little and miniature because it was just me and one cow. But still. Now I was taking a - shall we say "creative"? And their eyes say to me, "sometimes we're not sure how your country got to be so powerful," but all I can think is, "if one cow with crooked horns is that frightening, how scary must it be to be caught in an elephant stampede?
