Pictures from Ngoudiane!

Senegal is pretty after a rain :-)



Ya Alima and Saliu Chillin
Me taking a break at our LCF's house during language class
Baobobs and Millet
My sweaty sheets after a nap.
Pulling water from the well.  The kids thought this was hilarious.
Lauren pulling water.  I think she still had 10m to go.
My breakfast one morning. Eggs sandwich! The bread came wrapped in that Chemistry HW in the background.
Lauren with Ya Astou at our LCF's house.  We like his family :-)
My cousins trying on their uncles sunglasses.
This is the magical tree of Africa.  Notice the millet directly under the tree is dark green.  The tree fixes nitrogen and drops its leaves in the rainy season so it doesn't shade crops.  Animals congregate under it in the dry season for shade and add more fertilizer. 
Ya Alima's parrots.  She named them after us.  Left to right: Bajir Rokia, Mbay, and Assane.  The recurring joke is that Lauren's parrot is the prettiest... ok fine its true. 
My niece Adama.  Super cute all the time :-) and yes that magazine in the background is Femme Actualle.  They don't read it, they just look at the pictures.
