View from the Roof

   Friday we climbed up to the very top of the library roof. It's still under construction, so we had to scale this rickety little bamboo ladder but it was so worth it. The view from up there is spectacular! There was a nice cool breeze blowing, as we watched the sun sink behind the (not very) distant mountains. We could see and smell the smoke from many cooking fires. Reminds me of a quote by David Livingstone, "I see at time's the smoke of a thousand villages..."
    All you you in Texas can be jealous of the nice weather we are having here. Stays between 80 and 90 degrees during the day and cools down nicely at night. That may sound hot to some people, but compared to the sweltering 100+ degrees we were enjoying in Texas, 90 degrees is really nice. :) They say it does get REALLY hot here, but this is a cooler season. Nice for us. :)
