This is Sammy: Mary Beth's and Deron's gate guard...he speaks English and is a really nice man. He is standing in front of our gate and if you look down the street our office is on the right at the end! A 1 1/2 min. walk!
This morning, I woke up at the unheard of hour of 5.30 a.m. to meet Emily and another worker Lucy for a morning walk around the neighborhood! Well, it was a beautiful morning and we saw a ton of people out walking...for me it turned into a sweat bath!
I guess it is something I will get used to...sweat and more sweat!
I am getting into the swing of things here at work...I am in the process of planning out our travels for the next year, well at least until Dec. It is hard work, but I am really enjoying it. I am also finishing up the stories from my trip in Burkina Faso...I think I got two good ones.
Today, Lucy invited us girls over to get our toes painted -- a women she knows is coming over to do it! I am VERY excited...clean and pretty feet, here I come.
Next day: I have pretty toes now!
Here are some pictures of my office and apartment -- enjoy...

Jesse, I love reading your blog! Your excitement for what you're doing is almost palpable! I can't wait to read more about Abidjan.
oooOOOooo! Fun pictures! I like getting to see your life in Africa through your pictures...Some of them pop up when my screensaver is on, and I've gotten a lot of comments on the one of you swinging...miss you!
I love hearing everything about all you are doing! You are constantly being prayed for!
Hey, this is Carrie's friend. I'm here.
