bon soir mes amies et famille! i havent much time to write, let alone edit my work, as the french keyboard is much different...
We arrived last night. after negotiating immigration and customs (both largely prearranged by pc), we hopped into several white land rovers (in a distinctly UN peacekeeping envoy fashion) and departed for the SIL. for the 1st time since all my fellow trainees met, we were all eerily quiet as we drove down the dark streets of Ouagadougou: There was so much to take in.
We were met by most of our country staff at the aéroport. Most of today has consisted of logistical things; but during our breaks, we get to practice our français w/ our soon-to-be language instructors: The weather is quite hot and muggy, but relatively speaking, not too bad (75-80 at night, 95-100 day).
tomorrow we head north to Ouahigouya, where we will commence training. Unfortunately, i am now out of time :( i will write again as soon as i can and hopefully with pictures!!! plus in time, i will get used to the french keyboard, so i can type fqster...
until then, safe travels to all.
