Hey guys! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I just thought I'd give ya'll a little update on life in Senegal. Currently, I'm in Dakar staying with my host family, but tomorrow I live for Bamako, Mali. We are traveling via bus, which should take about 50 hours. The word sedative sounds really good to me when I think about 50 hours...But it will be an adventure. We'll be in Mali for the week, and the classes ... start?
I spent Christmas here in Dakar with my host family and with the Catholic family of one of the other Americans. It was a nice holiday, but because Senegal is a Muslim country it definitely didn't really feel like Christmas. Hopefully traveling to Mali with go smoothly, it's a little sketchy right now because I bought my bus ticket from a man sitting in a car in the parking lot of the train station. Don't worry though, it's the mode of transportation recommended by my host mother.
Happy holidays! I'll update when I return

Merry belated Christmas! Ooh, have fun in Mali! Sounds like an adventure! In China, my motto there was "everyday is an adventure" and it was pretty much true! Sounds like your Senegal experience has been quite the adventure as well!
I miss you and I love you girlie!!
