After a recent meeting with the our field leaders, we decided that we will be moving on soon. That is to say, we will be winding down our french study here in Abidjan and be moving into a remote Glaro village to begin our language study in Glaro.
We have been in Ivory Coast a little bit over a year now and adjusted well to the local customs and cultre. Even though some things, like spicey hot peppers in the food, were hard to get used to… 🙂
Now moving on, that means for us that we have to say goodbye to running water, unlimited electricity and internet. Also we wont have any supermarket nor taxis anymore close by.
But fortunately we will have a roof over our heads and with some solar panels we will still be able to use a computer and some lights possibly. Allowing us to work and process all our new language recordings also in the evening. (year round the sun comes up at 6am and sets at 6pm over here)
Well, there will be many other changes waiting for us and we will write some more as we find the time.
Aaron for both of us.
