Back to Nimpouya

Hi everyone,
Half of my research period is already over, and: so far so good. I have been in Nimpouya for a week to collect more material; but I haven't finished yet; so I'm going back this week one more time. By then I hope I have gathered enough information on Nimpouya in relation to water resources and will continue my research in March in Risci; a village not far from Nimpouya. Went to Ouagadougou for a day last week (capital of Burkina Faso). It was an interesting experience. While I have lived in this city four years ago for four months, so I know my way around pretty well. It was nice to see 'my house' and neighbourhood again, the supermarket; the cinema, the great Mosque... all sorts of things that I do not have in far away Ouahigouya! Bought some Dutch cheese and chocolate, hooray! Both are already finished of course... :-)
Everything is fine. Not much else to mention, so I'll just leave it up here. Bye for now. Rosien
PS I've tried to send some photos again; but everytime the computer gets stuck!
