Ca Va Aller: Rainy Season!

There’s a saying in French here “Ca va aller.” It basically means, “It’ll be fine” or “Don’t worry about it.” It’s a very useful saying here. It works when I’m frustrated about something, when I’m stressed out about something, or when I don’t know what’s going on. It also works when I don’t understand what people are saying to me in French. I say it and people seem to just laugh. I have a feeling that “Ca va aller” may be a theme throughout my next two years here…

Rainy Season!

Rainy season is so cool – all of a sudden a huge rain storm that stops everything will come in. I love watching them. Pictures from the first real rain storm this season (from my latrine).

On the note of rainy season, I have decided to plant and harvest peanuts this year. Will update soon…
