Feeling for Rain

Rain is something that you can feel from the smell that it is coming. And sometimes hours before it actually hits the ground at the place of your stay. Sometimes you can only smell it is raining in village nearby, but it doesn't necessarily reach Chilangoma.
But sometimes the smellis enough to clear the hot-hot air. Sometimes it only shows lightning, specially beautiful at night. Completely quiet, just flashes all over the sky in different colors. Specially useful when you need to run to toilet in the night-darkness :)
Yesterdays rain made the air look white, the strength it was hitting the ground with was so strong that the soil was in the air. Amazing. yeah, well, it also brought hundreds of bugs after rain. So we decided to spend the evening in the darknessas light would attract the animal farm immediately. We escaped from most of the beasts, just when lying in bed,we heard a very low buzzing and one enormous bug was flying around in our room. We were so happy that we had mosquito nets, pure heaven,otherwise we couldn't really sleep at all. Too many animals around. As Pri said- Sista, this is too much Africa!
