Matameye from on High

They're building a new cellphone tower in Matameye (actually two) and I convinced some of the construction guys to climb up and take some aerial photos of the town for me. Really cool for me at least. Its so flat here that its just really cool seeing things from a totally different perspective. In the photo with the other cell tower in it you can see my house, half cut off by the edge of the pic, right in the center.

I'm sort of surprised by how green the other picture it is... All streets (except the one main paved one) are totally sand. In town there are lots of trees though from street level you dont appreciate the green as much as you can from up high. Though now that its hot season we certainly appreciate the shade.

Anyway, overall things are good. Going through mental adjustments and bracing myself for the trauma of saying bye to everyone, but VERY excited about grad school and going to DC.

Oh, and the last photo I added is a group of teachers from a teacher training on gender issues in the education system that I helped organize.
