i'm still terrified of bulls,

but i try to remember the "animals can sense fear" theory. that and, "they're more afraid of you than you are of them." the yard next to my house is a grazing ground for cattle. and sheep, and goats, and the one albino donkey that lives across the road. oh yeah, and the annoying chirpy guinea fowl that like to hop over my wall sometimes. ooh! here's a picture! this is one of my first days in Niasso...the view from my house (picture taken by Susie). The buildings are the primary school so the normal view is of several million screaming little kids. And there's no grass there anymore..there hasn't been since October.

ALSO....June 28th-July 20th=see you in America!!! Meet me at any all-you-can-eat buffet. On a related note, I had a dream last night that someone sent me 3 turkey sandwiches in the mail. mmm....
