Rains, rains and more rains!

These pics were taken this week in our neighborhood. We have heard that Dakar has gotten twice as much rain as last year if not more and more is expected. The roads are not built to handle much rain as you can see above. Joel and I have had a hard time getting our walks in because it is either raining or so muddy that you cannot slip and slide out to the main road. Dakar generally does not see any rain from November until June so we try to enjoy and savor each and every rain.

Today we noticed a difference in the temperature - it is heating up and we will not feel the cool ocean breezes now until the end of November. This is when our electric bills go out of sight!
