COLD!

This is the cold season in Niger which last year did not seem that cold, but now I am freezing. As I write this post I am wearing a scarf and hiding under a blanket. Burrrrr!! This is also the season of bloody noses because the air is so dry. The heals of your feet crack because of the dryness. This is a nice season because you can sleep without sweating, but the dryness is murder on the body.

Spending the Christmas season in an almost all Muslim country is really strange. There are no twinkle lights, there are no fir trees, and there is no sense of holiday cheer. This makes the whole season almost slip by without too much notice. In the least I cannot wait to get back to the states for a huge over-exposed holiday season. Next year....
