It's a good internet day! I've finally been able to upload pictures! 

(Hopefully more photos to follow *fingers crossed*)

Here is a typical picture of what it's like driving around N'Djamena. 

Believe it or not, this is a typical load for a bicycle!

This is my neighbourhood, currently flooded from the rainy season. 

This picture was taken outside the front door of a friends house, and our house is just across the pond.

And here's a shot of my courtyard at home :)

The same courtyard from another angle. This is our outdoor kitchen where we do most of the cooking. And yes, that is a turkey running around the kitchen! 

This is the main room of my house - a cozy shared living/dining space.
