I'm back from Kedougou. The south part of this country is actually nice. There are trees and mountains and green. The people are actually tolerable (a different ethnic group). I'll have plenty of pictures up soon.
I went for a week-ish. We first biked/climbed a mountain and stayed there in a village on the top. Then came back down and biked to another small town (Segou). From there we hiked back to see a waterfall. Then we hiked up another mountain. On this small, impromptu trip I saw from afar Mali and Guinea. The only cool wildlife I saw were a few monkeys. Nonetheless, still beautiful and I'm glad I went.
We also celebrated the 4th in true style. Most of the volunteers came down to Kedougou for a party, which I why I wanted to go a week early and see everything. We had some fireworks and cooked 2 pigs. I wish these people ate pork here, I've missed it!
Getting ready to leave on actual vacation, out of Senegal. Going to Cape Verde. That should be amazing.
As so, please do not send anymore care packages right now. If they arrive when I'm away, it's quite possible I won't get them, at least get them complete. The postal system here sure isn't American, they take what they want.
