Marty, thank you for the pictures! It looks like you guys had some trouble along te way but got them straightened out. What were you digging for, water? And what does the company mean, no HBO or Cinemax! And OK, what are those (eggs) in the last Picture?

Again, thanks for the pictures it's always nice to see different parts of the world.

The trouble along the way was only the start. The generator's starter did not want to work, had to fix that and Sunday the borehole collapsed, they are sorting it out and then I have to go back for another week.

We are doing what is known as Well Logging or Borehole Logging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_logging)

The water in the area is very salty so what we are analysing is the permeability of the geological features. This gives us an idea about the coal as well as methane gas being produced that can/might be mined.

Sorry randy, but I dont understand the following question: nd what does the company mean, no HBO or Cinemax!

As for the eggs...still trying to figure that out, emailed someone in zoology and awaiting for reply, first time I have seen that myself.

haha, It is kind of a joke that didn't work. HBO and Cinemax are companies that have channels on cable TV that show mainly movies!

Ha ha, sorry but no HBO for us, do catch up on your reading though! Something one neglects in today's world filed with technology.

I saw the pic of Pumba from the bridge you were on where they were down in the dry river bed.

I also saw what I am guessing is a termite mound and what was that little fenced in area (a boma?)
