Hot and Sweaty in South Sudan

I am here on Sudan on another business trip. We had a three-day meeting of the senior staff - not the most well-organized, but I have survived. Of course, it has taken my entire weekend. I will only arrive home Sunday afternoon.

And it is HOT here - quite a contrast to Nairobi where we are wearing long sleeves and jackets. The air is so still and there is hardly any breeze. It is supposed to be the rainy season, but it hasn't rained at all while I am here. My ankles have been bitten up and the flies seem to like my ankles as well - maybe because of the scratched open bites??

I am staying in a tent - on a bed in the tent - so that is kind of fun. It cools down enough at night that sleeping is not unbearable.
