Hello everyone

How is it going? I am still doing fine, but have decided not to travel this weekend. I feel a little low the last few days, not anything sever but a sort of low moral, I think it is just the time on the programme, a sort of limbo time of classes and getting ready for next semester work projects and getting really used to life here, but still not quite understanding what is going on all the time. But the days are still rich and fun and I learn a lot from everyone.

Yesterday I went swimming at a swimming pool at a hotel, it was very nice, I haven’t been so clean in weeks, or months, and the refreshing feel of the water really relaxed me, along with some good exercise from some laps. So now I am relaxing, finishing some home work, listening to Neil young and trying to normalize the situation, relax, eat well, and do some nice things over here, maybe some bike adventures and the like.

Last week I bought some really nice materials and have one more shirt being made a the tailor’s but also I bought 6 yards of nice batik material to make me and Kate matching out fits. The clothing making culture here is great, the fabrics are all beautiful and some are incredibly random, but all are cheep and all are good. It would cost me 7-10$ for a shirt or pants to be made.

The air is getting hotter as the dust moves in, but the wind in our costal region is also nice, the raods are getting sandier and sandier as some small plants seem to be drying up, it is defiantly a season change, one season I have never felt before, Hammatan.

I wish you all the best, peace and love

Alex
