Life in Guinea is hard but good. March and April are the hottest months of the year and we have really been hot. Rainy season starts in June and, I understand, we'll have a lot of rain between then and October. Too bad it's a one-or-the-other situation. A little rain here and there would be welcome.
Working on a presentation on Billie Holiday for the end of (April) Jazz History Month at the American Embassy here. She really had a horrible upbringing and then made absolutely every bad decision possible. Yet listen to the power of her voice and her story-telling abilities. Amazing.
A few pictures from Africa. The first is a wildebeest tusk that was used to make jewelry. The second is a necklace made out of hippo teeth.
