across the pond

I invite you to join me in my adventures and discoveries as I serve for the Peace Corps in Cape Verde. I remind you (per order of the Peace Corps) that this website reflects my views alone and not those of the Peace Corps or the American government.

CHUVA!!

It rained last night. I went to bed and woke up to the soft sound of rain drops. I could almost hear the earth breathing out a sigh of relief as the land that had been parched by the sun since September 28th received its first sign of relief of water. The rich smell of life filled my soul today as I made my way outside amongst the low hanging clouds of moisture.

Though this will not directly impact the planting or harvest of the year, the air seemed a little fresher, everyone seemed a little more calm and hope seemed to spring up from the ground like the first signs of green.

Beautiful.
