This week was the first time it rained in months! The first rain came at night. The wind and rain were so strong that trees fell down. We had two more rain storms this week that were less strong. When it’s not raining, it is very hot.
This week my host family’s sheep began roaming more freely with their new lambs. The lambs were born in the last few weeks. The little lambs are small with long spindly legs. In addition, nomadic herders passed through the village this week guiding dozens of long-horned cattle, and,as I took my dog for walks, I spotted so many birds. I wish I knew the names of them! There are birds smaller than my hand, flying in beautiful fluttering groups, and huge hawks that swoop above.
