Snow on Mount Meru

Yesterday afternoon, we experienced a big storm with heavy rains. It had not been raining like that since several months. The good news is that it is good for the garden and the crops in general. The bad news is that this morning dirt roads have become mud roads. I had to play a bit with the 4WD from my house to the tarmac road. I like it, it is quite funny... as long as I do not get stuck in the mud myself!!!

This morning when I woke up, I heard the radio and the regular noise of a machete cutting branchs! at 6 A.M. Dawmn it! It is coming from the next door compound where the landlord has decided it was time to build on it. So far, so good except that it is a little EARLY! But when I get out the house I notice that the house is actually cutting the hedge separating the 2 compounds. STOP!! and when I mean cutting, the hedge lost one third of its height! So far they have stopped cutting it... I do not want to see the neighbours!

When I left the house and reached the tarmac road, I had a nice view of Mount Meru. So bad i did not have my camera with me. Because of the rain, there was no dust in the air, the lihgt was very nice and there was even a bit of snow on the top of the Meru. It was a nice view to start with, this morning.

Another good news. I am going to Ndutu. While officially in the Ngorongoro Conservation area, it is by the Serengeti border and looks like Serengeti. Ben is flying some people there and I could come. At work, people said they could survive without me for 2 days and a half so I am going!!! happy! Happy!

More soon, I have to work!
