First. Like I put in the little post right before, my e-mail account got hacked. The results of using internet cafes in a third-world country. I hope and pray everything works out ok. I'm just hoping that no sensitive material was on any e-mails. But the response time from friends asking if I was ok was pretty sweet. About the time I happened to be logging online, my dad called and confirmed why I couldn't log-in using my password. Until I figure something out, send e-mail to kennysenegal at gmail dot com.

| 2010 Waist and Dakar |
So back a month or so ago was W.A.I.S.T. The west african invitational softball tournament. It is held in Dakar (the capital of Senegal, and largest city in west africa) for the various ex-patriots and PCVs in all of west africa. Pretty much we come in from our tiny poor villages and witness amazing big city life on the ocean while playing softball and eating at great restaurants. great time. Also had the All-Volunteer conference from all the PCVs in west africa to talk business for a while.
You may notice in the pictures a very beautiful girl with me in a few pictures. I'm such a lucky guy, huh? =)
Along with the softball, Jessica and I went to a small sampling of some of the best restaurants in Dakar. Yum! We went to Isle N'Gor one day, and that was just amazing! But the few days in dakar went fast, and it was time to go back to Thies for training. Boo! It was about 2 1/2 weeks of so... much... fun.
Back in guinguineo for now. It's hotter, and drier, and worse than ever. ah, home sweet home? We had st. patty's day in kaolack. pretty nice. We found some guiness and it made for a good day. Also, i'm now officially our regional librarian and co-treasurer. something to fill my time! :)
I'm in Dakar now, actually. Having the doctor look at my foot. I must have stepped on something a while back, and it hasn't come out. So i'm going to get it removed. Not a big deal, but affords some "vaca" time back in Dakar for a few days.
Hopefully I can get a new e-mail address. No more using internet cafes here.
I appreciate the pictures with captions. Jessica must be a good influence because this is the most pictures we have seen in the seven months since you left home. Wow! The other side of the country seems much difference than your village...now I see what you are talking about!
