Gently

Last night’s storm was refreshing. It rained hard for a couple of hours. The surprise was that the rain continued throughout today. Eight hours of the gentlest rain, falling all day and completely soaking the thirsty earth. Around 5, when I went out to buy our evening bread, it was tapering off…just a sprinkle.

Even though it was an inside day….very unusual here in Dakar…it was perfect. I think we all appreciated the peaceful, quiet rain. At dinner, Ba smiled and said: La pluie etait magnifique!

Yes, the rain was magnificent.
