travelling between field offices during the rainy season requires a 4-8 hour boat ride + a 4-8 hour car ride (and yes, travel times DO vary that much based on weather - consider that the same journey in the dry season is 6 hours tops - and only requires a car!). it can be very uncomfortable (especially when it starts to rain on you), but with a yoga mat and a life jacket as a pillow (a life jacket that the senior ops manager keeps insisting that i use as a life jacket for some reason - something about it's ability to save my life or something), life is good! :) seriously though, sometimes i can't believe that this is work, that i'm here...boat riding down the nile, watching the sun set over the horizon, taking a 5 hour afternoon nap, sun bathing, savoring the beauty of south sudan, all on the clock. wow - who's lucky, eh?
