This is my house. It's attached in a row to three others, but most of what you see is mine. Note the great tree behind it.
I don't know why this likes to distort my pictures. This is me and my host sister Siabitou.
Me helping pound palm nuts.
This is the salt flat. I've gone down here several times to help the women make salt. It's pretty hard work.
Some of the kids in my village. These three are SUPER cute- Hawa, Ami and Aba.
(L to R) Me, Koko, Casey and Jenna on the beach in Senegambia. We had just finally found some ice cream so we are very happy!
The tree behind your house IS very impressive. I see now why you love it. I always appreciate you posting pictures for us all to see. You look really good and truly happy. Thinking about you and praying for you all the time.....and yes, I'm working on writing more often. Love you bunches, Dad
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures!!! It's good to see one of you so I can see for myself that you are ok. You tree is lovely. Have you tried to climb it yet? What kind of ice cream did you have? The beach looked nice. Did you go in the water? I miss you!!!!! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI am very jealous of your tan!
ReplyDeleteHave not tried to climb the tree. The tree has lots of spikes on it not to mention that it has no branches for at least the bottom 50 feet. I had chocolate ice cream. We didn't go in the water at this beach. We didn't even plan on going there, but the ice cream was near one if the fancy hotels. We scoped it out and looked at their private beaches. Which is where we took the picture. And I didn't even realize I looked tan. I am still one of the pale kids in the Peace Corps (and of course my village). I do get comments on how blonde I am getting.
