4 things...

So there are a few things that we have noticed thus far into our trip.
1. We have gone through 10 liters of oil in 4 weeks (Martha cooks with ALOT!)
2. It is definitely rainy season.
3. My family and I have finally acclimated!
4. Hair get BIG, No matter how much product you use!

For the past few days it has rained every few hours, but today it poured all day. Good thing we brought personal umbrellas. With the rain, also comes a cooler front. It is still warm and muggy outside, but the Liberians pull out their thick coats, heavy sweaters and shawls to wrap themselves up with. In the Pediatric Unit the other day the Play Nurse, Rose, told G.G. and I that she thinks she is coming down with a cold because of the weather affiliated with rainy season. G.G. and I both laughed, but understood because it doesn't feel as hot to us as before.

The other night we taught Martha how to make real American food. She loved our homemade mashed potatoes, fried chicken and mixed veggies! While watching her cook, we realized how much oil she uses in each dish! We are trying to teach her how to conserve and cut back on this less needed product:)
