Update

Well it's been longer than I had anticipated since the last post. And even now I don't have any wacky stories for you. Unless continual electricity cuts in 115 degree weather is considered wacky. Probably not.

Latest update:

Miranda (good friend of Brook's mother) and his friends daughter who is in college came to visit Brook and me at the beginning of April. They stayed for about 10 days. Daughter went out to a Peace Corps site and hit the local market and a wedding. The rest of us bought cloth, went to the tailor and went over to Ouli's for a great lunch.

Brook and I took a long weekend off last week (it already feels like forever ago). Let me know via email if I haven't you the link to the photos, and I'll send them right out.

I'm working on a Catholic Relief Services assignment, which is pretty laid back. I'm interviewing partner organizations in Dakar, Tamba and Kolda. I should go down to Kolda next week for that part. Hopefully by the end of the week I can crank out Tamba interviews.

Brook is going to Ziguinchor at the end of next week (which passes through Kolda). He should pick me up in Kolda over the weekend and I'll head down to Ziguinchor with him, finalize up my write-up for CRS.

Brook and I are going to Thailand for about 10 days in June. Going to see one of my best girlfriends and husband and then on the way back to Senegal, we'll stop off in Rome and take in some sites and food!

It's not one of my crazier posts but I figured a good information post is not a bad thing too. Take care and here is a picture of our lovely house guests in April.
