· It's the rainy season here, which means it basically pours every day. But it will only really rain for a few hours, it's just pretty cloudy all day, and it's doesn't rain at night. Nights here are really nice; warm and dry. The rainy season lasts for about six months. The dry season starts right after we leave in January. Once the dry season starts it won't rain basically at all for six months.
· There are lots of stray chickens, and roosters crow really loud in the middle of the night and wake me up. The upside: there is a momma hen and her cute-as-hell chicks living in our yard.
· The water here is not safe to drink, so we brush our teeth with bottled water. This isn’t hard to get used to or anything but it’s extremely wasteful considering the island doesn’t recycle (it just doesn’t have the resources for it).
· We have mosquito nets on our beds. The mosquitoes are not nearly as bad as I thought they would be, though, and they are not bigger or scarier than in the US like I thought they would be. I also thought they would get worse when we went to Moka – but apparently there aren’t even any there because it’s too cool for them.
