Not Cool. Literally.

It's never a good sign when you see a flaming thermometer upon glancing at the extended forecast ... especially considering that December and January are supposed to be the unbearably hot months of summer. And it's now just the beginning of September??



Maybe this is just Africa's kind way of preparing us to really be able to appreciate the cold when we get back to the States in December. All I have to say is there better be "feet" of snow to return to and possible blizzards in the forecast or it won't be worth it in my eyes!

And on top of this heat, we are in the middle of our third night this week without electricity. So that means no fan once again. I thought it was bad enough when our small refrigerator gave out right before this summer season began ... I'm scared to guess what may still be in store for us.

But on the bright side, we only have to stick it out for three more months. The heat is one thing we will be happy to say goodbye to when we depart this country!
