Visitors!

Yes yes, I know it's been months since we've had an update...and this isn't really going to be a good one, but here are some pictues from my mom's trip to visit last month!

New in Cape Verde:

- Dove and Josh get a new puppy! Her name is Bolacha and she's 6 weeks old
- The rain season has come and pretty much gone, wiping out numerous roads and washing out fields. It was our heaviest rain in 25 years - yikes!
- Dove and Josh "passed" their Mid Service Medical exams with no worms or parasites!
- New Volunteers were sworn in on September 19th; Dove helped with the training and transport back to the northern islands
- A National Geographic expedition ship came into Port Novo last week and Dove and Josh got to hang out with 80 or so American visitors and help with the tour of the island

No promises on our next post, but we'll *try* to be better in the future!
