The last day in Ouahigouya I went with Elli to Reko to watch her make a last set of infiltration measurements.
Watching bubbles float to the surface in a see-through plastic tube filled with water is mesmerizing. My thoughts got all soft and contour-less, and after a while I couldn’t keep my eyes open.
So I laid down under a tree and fell asleep among the thyme-and-mint-smelling herbs in the yellow afternoon sun. And it really was as nice as it sounds.
