Africa Hot

It has once again been Africa hot here. The rains just teased us and now it looks like they are gone for quite a while. Our house has a metal roof which absorbs the heat. No matter if the doors and windows are open all day, the house is boiling. It stays that way through the night because, due to the mosquitoes, we have to close them around 7:00pm so the house stays hot, hot, hot. Outside is much cooler than inside. Today I was complaining about being hot in the house and George came up with a great solution. Lay outside. He grabbed an old mattress and I got my pillow and book. It was great. There was a nice breeze and it was very comfortable. I read for a bit and then took a nap. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!
