coming rain

it doesn't rain very often, so when it does, it's a special occasion :).

sandstorm

these things happen, the wind just picks up the dust and makes funnels out of it...fascinating, really.

shots fired

the bullet

bullet hole #1

closer...

bullet hole #2

we did get shot at. although not to be taken lightly, at some point in your life in somalia, i think this will happen. nobody was hurt, and the community came together to eventually resolve the issue. if there is a positive to these kinds of incidents, it is that they show the strength of communities and their willingness to work towards peace.
