The one night I wish it wouldn't rain.
Turns out I had some karma left.
It gave me two Beninese assistants who were willing to work for 8 hours (with only a half-hour lunch break) to place the rectangle for the world map mural, draw the grid guides and transfer the outline of all the countries onto the map. All of which is currently in chalk.
Let’s hope I have just a little karma left to make the weather hold out so we still have chalk outlines tomorrow.
