Life here in Burkina is an adventure! You can count on the unexpected. From a broken down car to power outages. A malfunctioning generator and cold showers in the dark. We are constantly reminded of how spoiled we are back home. Ross and I are getting very anxious to see Noah and Lily, but we are trying to enjoy the little bit of time we have left in this amazing country. "Victor" is taking it all in and doing very well. Below, he is playing in the back of a rented pick-up that our host was able to get while the other vehicle gets fixed. The rental truck is a huge blessing, as we have had many appointments to get to in order finalize our paperwork before we leave.
We were able to connect with some friends of friends who happen to live here in Ouagadougou. They are missionaries and also have a little boy that they adopted from Burkina. They graciously invited us over for dinner and we had a great time sharing stories and letting the boys play.
Last night we went to the Gondwana restaurant and gallery. It is an amazing place. It is a northern African inspired restaurant that is decorated with an array of African artifacts. The floor of the room we ate in is covered in soft white sand. "Victor" had fun playing in it. He also had no problem sitting through our lengthy meal. He can challenge Ross in the amount of food he can put away!
We were told the table to the right in this picture is an embalming table from a few centuries ago. We ate at a different table :)
