An unseasonable, unexpected thunderstorm is drenching the dusty ground.
Under a tree dripping with not-yet-ripe fruit I ate my first mango in the baking heat of the afternoon.
At a camp just outside Bamako, I saw two scorpions and a black six-foot spitting cobra.

    Make sure to wash your hands after the juicy mango so critters stay away from you!
