Some pictures... Not too many!

We spent the day Saturday at Goree Island, a slave trade post in the Atlantic, this was one of the museums we went to. It over looked the ocean. I'm assuming it was a fort before it became a museum...? With those canons and all, seems to be a good guess!

At the beach towards four o' clock, all the fishermen were pulling their boats up to shore. It was strange because almost all of them were bailing out while paddling... not a great boat system... but they all had almost a box full of fish when they went in towards town, so they must be good bailer/fishermen.

Walking in Goree.

Joleen, Miriama, Hannah et moi at the beach. Andrew decided to go work out on the beach and we decided to hang out a bit. It was rather awkward because there were about six women there, including ourselves. All these guys were working out to become lutteurs (kind of like WWE wrestlers, but more hardcore) and they were looking at us like we were there to decide which one we were going to take home... so then they were looking at us, picking out which one they wanted... Probably not a true tale, but awkward none-the-less.
Khalifa (hhhalifa) my brother (He's sweet--he always teaches me wolof and french), trying to put up my mosquito net... which prevents mosquito bites, but not bed bugs bites. He almost killed himself for that net, which proved useless... :/ Oh well. On the bed bug front, I'm hoping my family is killing them chemically. I'm staying at Aby's house while they fix that petit problem, which has been fantastic.
I have eaten! Last night we had this fantastic tortilla thing with chicken, lettuce, french fries and tomatoes. Absolutely delicious. I also went to church with Jean Luc, an older gentleman from Boston who is here working for some child sponsorship program. It was really cool (well, not temperature-wise) because they know how to use drums and use them well. I just felt like I wanted to dance the whole time!

Well, I'm going home to eat... I guess we'll see if I stay at Aby's one more night or what's going to happen. I'm still covered in chicken- pox like dots and have successfully used an entire tube of anti-itch ointment, so I want to stay there one more night and hope that they disappear quickly!

Ba beneen/ hasta la proxima vez/ a bientot/ see you later!

Kate!
