In Palmarin







We rented an uberlarge hut at the place we stayed. It was right by the beach, had a pool, and boasted a sacred baobab tree that looked like the profile of a person. Hmmm....

In one of the pictures, you can see us inspecting the inside of the fruit from the baobab tree.

Road to Palmarin





Jenn, Steve, Jill, Jaia and I packed the car up the other day to drive 3 1/2 hours south to the Sine Saloum Delta. The Kelletts planned the trip, and Jill and I were along for the ride. We stayed in a small place called Palmarin that is made up of 4 villages. It is more of a remote location...known for its mangroves, wildlife, and waterways. LOVED it. My next 4-5 blog entries will focus on what we did while there.

Cinnabon...You Have Competition!





I am officially on Spring Break -- yeah!!! Two items worthy of mention here. First, my friend Jill from my former school in Scotland is visiting me for the week. Double yeah! (More on our recent trip later...) And, my first day of break started off with huevos rancheros and the most AMAZING cinnamon rolls ever at my friend Rebekah's house. She made the entire brunch from scratch. All I had to do was provide some juice. Triple yeah!

**The pictures of Jill are from a trip we took along the coast of Northern Ireland last year. Easily one of the best trips I've ever taken!

Lompoul #2






I recently went back to Lompoul for more desert camping. This time we took a large group of adults and kids - almost 20 of us went. Fun!
