Just spent the weekend in Galmi, with our family, for Easter.
It was hot, over 100 degrees, and dry, but it was great being with family.

Below, in the kitchen, Sarah is doing some prep work.

Here, Rashida is doing the dishes.

Grace making a salad.

Below, Rabi was doing most of the cooking.

Samuel and Azeezzi doing their absolute best to be helpful.

Rashida doing the laundry.  She was a very busy girl.

Rashida is the sister to Azeezzi.  Azeezzi is mute.

We had a great Easter Sunday feast of beef, fries, sauce and salad.  Food was not only shared by family but many others.

Easter Monday, Grace stayed in Galmi.  She will spend a month doing Hausa language immersion.

On Monday, Orest drove back to Maradi.  On the way he saw a woman sharpening a very large machete using the highway as her sharpening device.  He was not inclined to stop and take pictures.
