Cooking in Hamdy 1 & 2
Team Z at our Niger fashion show. The two girls in front were our VATs and are in Zinder.
Looking at my concession door from front porch
Looking at my house
Two pics of me with a cat. It was absolutely ridiculously tiny and cute; that's why I'm smiling so goofy.
Baby goats came to visit and eat my plants. They were harder to shoo away than kids
Proof that I planted my garden
They're stuccoing my walls. I liked the cute squigglies in the cement, though. :(
Dudes selling stuff in the market. I think this is a good example of something that I've gotten completely used to that I think y'all would find exotic.
This is the pic I took of all those kids when I was on the phone with Mom & Dad, and was waiting for my neighbors who eventually showed up.
[Note from Mom, who is posting these pictures for Audrey: It was so funny. We were talking to Audrey on the phone, and there was a lot of kid-noise, and she said that these kids had all come into her house all of a sudden, because she had left the door open for the neighbors she was expecting. We got to say "hi" to one of the kids in Hausa. It was funny listening to her trying to get the kids under control, in a language she still barely knows!]
This is a drawing I did of Hajia Dayba, whose family I hang out with most. Everyone always cracks up and comments a lot about how she's pounding in the picture.
This is a girl who came to my house to be drawn (like half the town). I happen to like this as one of the best I've done so far, which is why I'm posting it.
This is a girl named Mariama whom I met my first week here. She is 15, and she's getting married in January. I asked her if she'd still go to school, and she said yes, but I don't know if that's true. She probably won't go next year if she finishes this year.
