To Niamey and Back

Yup this is the spacious luxury cabin of the truck we ride in for 14 hours to and from Niamey (actually this time just to, and then we had to bus it back and let the new kids take the PC truck). Good times you can imagine. I can't tell you how bad my butt hurts by the time we arrive, but imagine a really stiff bench, a car with horrific shocks and a road with about seven brazillian potholes in it. Or another activity to simulate the joy that is this ride is to spend the next 14 hours slapping yourself in you own butt with a broad board once every ten minutes or so. Basically, the first 7 hours aren't bad, but it starts to get rough on the latter half of that midpoint. Yay! Come visit!

The week in Niamey was great. A mix of play, important work, and play. In roughly that proportion. Great seeing people from out west and just generally getting pumped to get back out to Matameye (where I'm headed tomorrow, yay!). OK, gonna go for another picture if the internet gods decide to smile upon our connection... That's it for the moment.
