Watermelon season has arrived!
These photos don’t do it justice. Driving by this part of town is just incredible. The hills are covered in piled up huge watermelons. And every fruit stand is packed with them. And when I say every fruitstand… in Dakar there are thousands of fruit stands. I can’t even fathom how many watermelons are in [...]
Pastèque
Today we went to a local “fruit market.” We bought a bunch of great stuff, grapefruit, mandarine oranges, mangoes, bananas and a watermelon (or pastèque). We were pretty sure the watermelon would be a hit with the kids… here are a few pictures and videos to prove! I love it when cameras catch funny faces! [...]
Caca water!

Here in Senegal the power is 220 volts and 50 hertz. We have voltage stabilizers in most of our rooms, which protect whatever is plugged in [...]

Senegalese Garbage System!
Praise Jesus they have a garbage system here in Dakar! Every morning we hear the blaring horn of the garbage truck going around the neighborhood. When it gets near our apartment it honks its horns for at least 60 seconds. It sounds more like a big truck horn… its very loud. You definitely can’t miss [...]
