Four Wheel Drive is a MUST!!!



On our way back from the dunes, our path was blocked by a deeply buried car. We stopped to assist with our "sand tracks" and after 4-6 pushes with the sand tracks in place, the grateful driver was free to return from the direction that he'd come. It would have taken all day or longer for him to get out without the sand tracks. Note to self and others: When traveling on sandy roads in Niger--4 wheel drive is a must. (Yes this is actually a road!)

Is it as hot as it looks? Our rainy season just started and cooled off our nights. I love your blog!

It's great to see your blog and hear about how you are all doing! Can't believe how hot it is there--it snowed on Easter here in Zagreb. We'll be praying for you! -Amy Collard
