As things go in Senegal, (read:slowly) I can update only time to time. I've been in my home-stay village for the past week. It's a wonderful little city/large village about 5km from the ocean. It has sand everywhere and palm tres. The people are super nice, but always insist on wanting to make us learn wolof and not speak in french. My home-stay family is great and huge, thought it's awkward to interact because of the language problem. But we try and it's been going well. There is a 30 year old son Babarcar, and we bond well. I spend most of the day between class either sitting under a tree and trying to chit-chat or making amazing senegalese tea. We're back in Thies for a few days before another two weeks back in the village. All things are going well (Iinchallah).
Please, send me mail!

ReplyDeleteKenny, you are awesome.
ReplyDeleteKenny, I'm so glad you have sand and palm trees. They are 2 of my favorites. Our weather has turned to fall even though it's still summer. Grandma is following this blog thru the Senior Center. She was interested in hearing about the family you are living with. Take care. Love and prayers, Aunt Wanda
ReplyDeleteMr. Eug, where are you? It is time for another post when you can :)
ReplyDeleteIs there anything particularly cool you want mailed to you? Like soda or peanut butter? I'm going to assume since you are in god knows where you aren't going to homecoming... That makes me somewhat sad
