Americans in Africa?

Last night I went out with some Peace Corps folk to a restaurant that
just reopened. They closed down for Ramadan. The restaurant serves
amazing Tuobab food and really cheap beer. The beer is both cheap in
price and quality. Soon enough after my first beer, I heard English
being spoken in the bar. I went to see this mysterious English person.
Turned out to be English speaking people. There was 8 ex-US military
men at the restaurant. They were very eager to talk to me and I with
them. We talked about why we're here and where we are from and so on.
It was just nice to see unfamilar faces that seemed so familiar. I sat
with them for about two hours and had a few beers. They dont speak any
local language so it was cool to teach them little things to say so
they can get around town a little more easier. They'll only be around
here for a month to train the Senegalese military, so theres no need to
really learn anything. Long story short-----It was nice to see
Americans in Africa!!!
