Welcome back

As you can probably tell, I am playing catch-up on blog posts. Big time. Anyway, I've tried not to miss anything too important of late.

Thank you for coming back for another term of my wacky adventures (see Faux Pas). As a reward for your loyalty, I am posting some (much overdue) pictures soon (still having computer issues with that, but I'm really really trying), dating all the way back to November. Unfortunately, I won't be able to actually describe what you are seeing until the next time that I post (might be as much as two weeks).

Maktau didn't see much rain while I was gone, but there was just enough for my moringa to sprout (yay!!!). Also, the school managed to get a water tank, so we will be working on gutters next. The workers made some good progress on the lab, so hopefully I'll be in there soon. The school computer is loaded with viruses and refuses to run my antivirus software, so I'll need to figure out something there (it's really nice that some of the other volunteers are in ICT).

I am also very excited to read the Economist and follow the Cubs on my cell phone. I miss speaking Spanish, but other than that, it is wonderful to be back at site.
