We are in Lagos since 2 months. We have slowly settled into a cozy routine confirming our incredible ability to make do with very little and be happy about it!!
Earth hour went unnoticed in Nigeria yesterday. First half the country is in the dark, second the Government power supply is erratic and unreliable. Everything and everyone rely on generator electricity. Dealing with environment issues is light years away in Nigeria.
The thunderstorms and lightening in Lagos are awesome and majestic. When it rains it lasts long and it is very noisy. As soon as it stops I love the smell of the earth. It is sublime.
While enjoying a lovely dinner at our neighbors on Friday surrounded by people from all over the world, it downed on me that our world is now a metropolis and the cities are towns where we wander in and out on a shoestring!
