The weather is ideal, 70's during the day, 50-60's at night, and I haven't seen a mosquito, but if I do, I will respect it.<BR/><BR/>VERY hilly, and curvy roads,it really reminds me of Arkansas, California, and Pittsburgh. It feels familiar.<BR/><BR/>The shopping is challenging. Things are actually kind of expensive. Except these wonderful fabrics seem pretty reasonable, so I plan on purchasing some of them. Most of the shops are about the size of a small shed. Lots of people walking everywhere, and people carry impossibly sized loads of things on their heads. I might buy a special ring basket thing that looks like a large donut so you can carry things. You would be amazed at what gets carried around.<BR/><BR/>Public transportation amounts to vans crammed full of people or motor scooters which seem a bit daunting. I may try one to say I did it, but with the crazy traffic and curvy hilly roads, I am thinking twice.<BR/><BR/>Ran around today getting things organized to work on the wall at the clinic. This mural is certainly going to be a lovely thing to behold at the clinic. I am really happy we are doing this.believehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479684092969460973noreply@blogger.com
