Monday, 7 September 2009

Greetings from wet N'Djamena!
 
It rained again today, or should I say this evening.  It caused a little excitement as the twins room was getting a pretty good drenching because they forgot to close their shutters.
 
All of the new additions to the family seem to be doing well if one judges simply by their little cries for milk from their mommas.  I know the kids are enjoying having them around.
 
A few days ago one of our neighbors died.  This past weekend the family (Muslim family) had a funeral and a gathering for the deceased at the neighbor's house.  While the festivities were ongoing, somebody stole one of the attendee's cars.  The apparent culprit was some man (who was apparently one of the guests) wearing a turbin that covered his face.  One of our guards remarked, "During Ramadan he can't eat, he can't drink, but he can steal!"
 
Hope you all have a great day.
