photos from the village







So the first picture is of my training village at sunset. the whole thing is just along that road. it was so tiny! the next picture is of the lunch i helped to cook! senegal's favorite dish: ceebujen. after that is a photo the chicken coated in buffalo wing sauce that i cooked over beach weekend. the adorable little girl in red is my favorite little friend, ndiayejoop. she's the best. when i first met her she wouldn't talk and by the time i left she was so chatty. her laugh sounds like angels from heaven. the next photo was taken at a baptism. in the morning we had millet couscous with a thin yogurt. this dish "lah" is served at every baptism. after that there are prayers from the imam and the baby naming ceremony. immediately following a goat is killed. i have a video of that if anyone's interested. haha. then we eat the goat for lunch with rice. in the afternoon when it cools down, people start to dance. the baptism was a huge affair complete with enormous speakers and a DJ! the dancing here is hilarious!

so i hope you enjoyed the photos! i can only had five at a time but i'll try to make this as regular as possible! leave comments so i know you love me! :)
