我喜歡中國食物!


Yummy!

I love one of the Chinese restaurants in town. Tonight I went with some friends, and it was delicious once again. My favorite dishes are chow mein and the green beans. The picture I'm posting is actually from January when Hillary visited and we went to Chinese, so this demonstrates to you the many times I've been to eat there!

School Happenings

We had Sports Day and some entertainment to go along with it last month.

Check out one of the videos a colleague put together after the event:

Goodbye & Goodbye





I've had to say goodbye to two lovely friends in the past week.

First, Jill continued with her vacation and went to Morocco to do some charity work after Senegal. We had a great time catching up and seeing the sights around Dakar and beyond. She was game for anything, and is the type of person that is consistently upbeat and generous with others. I'll miss her!

Then, Hillary came back to visit me for a week after spending 2 months studying art in Paris. We laughed a lot and enjoyed beach time, chilling, and good talks. Her surf instructor, Aliou, came along on some of our outings. Love both of them!
