So, in a country that is 90% Muslim, I just happen to live in a little village that contains some of the 5% Christian population. Last Sunday was Easter, here they actually celebrate Easter on Sunday and Monday. What a great time. The kids had 2 weeks off vacation from school, so we got a lot of coloring in-which if anyone wants to send crayons, I'd be more than happy to use them. Anyway, Megan, my best pal in Segou came out to my village. We had a great time. She hard boiled eggs and we colored them with the kids. They then ate them afterwords and got some protein.
Tomorrow I am off to visit a fellow Peace Corps Vol up north. His site has elephants there! I am so excited but it's a 11hr. drive to get there. It's also super hot here right now-Sunday will be 108 degrees. It's hot. Really, uncomfortably hot. Yuck

Monica, you look nice. Megan looks nice too. Try to stay kool in the 100 plus degree weather. The kids are cute.
Missing you a lot

Dear Monica, I am embarrassed that it has taken me so long to tell you how much I enjoyed your letter and the picture. I have it on my refridgerator so I can look at it every day. How sweet you are to write instead of e-mail.Your story about the cook stove, etc. seemed incredible! I'll send another box of goodies soon. Take care. Karen
P.S. Heard a Malian cora played on the radio the other morning. Sweet.
