Me outside "Restaurant Florida" in Maradi, Niger - quite the opposite to the Florida I just came from in July!, but we've had afew good evenings there (if you're not afraid of earwigs, that is).
Our lunch stop on a bush trip out to the villages of Danya, Gidan Jido, and Rugga: Me with a friendly chamelion, and Aaron and Jaho (below) eating bread sardines.
The project staff for SSCS (Sowing Seeds of Change in the Sahel), at our Sept end of month meeting. As part of this meeting I did a presentation on the agriculture project I'd worked at in Ethiopia.
A full millet head
A crop of millet almost ready to harvest
Cattle with muzzles on, a common site in the countryside here.
Baby shrews that Aaron and I found while weighing bundles of firewood (as part of the trial work on acacias).
Animals grazing next to the road from Galmi to Maradi.
Camel riding!!
"Club Prive" - a swimming pool just out of Maradi that was put there when Niger was a French colony. Thankfully it's still up and running. It's alot easier to bear the heat and harsh environment when you can go swimming twice a week. We're roughing it here, I tell you!
