Health hut that is currently more built than this but I found this picture online!!.  This is the health hut currently being built by my ancient, her family, and the wonderful village of Thiawandou!!  It will be not 400 yards from my family's compound!

These are pictures from Kayar, the fishing village where we thought pierogies are made.....turns out a pirogue is this colorful fishing boat.  There are zillions lining the beach before you get to the smelly fish market

These two are from Bayakh,  my community based training site where I live with a wonderful host family and learn Wolof for Pre-Service Training.

 These are sheep on the beach.  Sheep and goats are more prevalent than people around these parts lol.

 

My language group!!  Were about to find out where in this country we will be living for the next two years!! Freaking exciting!!

Senegalese Independence Day spent at the Reserve de Bandia. 

Wish it lasted longer but saw tons of cool animals.  More pictures will come later!  After the mini Safari, we were welcomed to the restaurant with a free locally made liquor tasting!!  pretty amazing and they were quite generous on the tasting part...

So I am feeling way to tired to write a whole post but this has been my last couple weeks in a small nutshell.  a word document is being drafted with some more juicy deets so hold tight!!  I came back from my Volunteer Visit a couple days ago where I visited my service sit and was shown around by my "ancien" (the person I will be taking over from).  It was amazing!!! like seriously amazing!  I had fun and really enjoyed this "demystification" as they call it.


So yeah more to come later.  Back to Bayakh tomorrow to practice my WOlof cause if there's one thing I learned from visiting my site....its that my WOof must improve ASAP.  also that I will be learning Pulaar since my family is Pulaar and they are convinced they will be teaching me...yikes!!  SO off to get my beauty rest!!

Still, I miss you all!!  Enjoy and Yaangiy ci jamm!  (Have Peace!)
