Hot and humid...

I can totally understand why they warn you that your dog could die if left in a hot car. I had to drive somewhere at 2.30 this afternoon, and climbing into my car was like stepping into a furnace. The outside temperature was somewhere in the mid thirties, but it felt a lot more than that inside my little car!
Things will be just as hot and even hotter when I arrive in Senegal this week. The city of Dakar, being near the coast, will no doubt be similar in temperature to here in Spain, but up north where our young people will be planting trees, the temperature will no doubt be quite a lot higher than that. Of course, we've been praying and trusting for the rains to arrive, so that the planting season can begin. I guess that daily rainfall will cool things down just a little bit.
I fly tomorrow morning, and arrive in Dakar around 10 pm. Thanks for your prayers. (See prayer pointers in previous post.)
