Christmas is coming!
This year, Christmas feels so strange to us. We have no immediate family near us, nor are we going to see any family for Christmas. We see no snow. Its NOT cold… (although it does feel cool compared to the hot season! What a relief!!!) Its not rainy. We don’t hear Christmas music… on the [...]
Some pics!
This was our first American style meal here in Dakar. Our hosts are still cooking our meals for us. Which is good and bad all at the same time! haha! We miss familiar food. But the time together and the culture learning is so valuable. This is egg salad sandwiches on sub style bread we [...]
