Village life

Village life is a lot different than your lives back home. My village is called Bombugar Malik Ndiaye. Its it seriously the most beautiful place in all of Senegal (even without being bias). From a town called Sokone, I , take a horse or walk 4K to my vilage. Along the way is a beautiful landscape of giant trees hills and savannah grass. It looks more like a fantasy dream thanit does Africa. While walking, i look to my left and see the clear blue river. The river is connected to mant other little rivers that again are connected to the Atlantic Ocean only a few miles West. Before I get to my village I see a large green ball covering the trees in the horizon. It is our church (mosque). The village has a school, two general stores, and family compounds. The lmost beautiful, and my most exciting part of day, is the river. I walk down to the river and I can walk knee high out to the mangrove trees. After that, I can take a short swim or just sit in the water to cool off. I recently just helped the men in my village build a boat. We had a boat ceremnoy last week. I have pictures. Though I only have two minutes left, so I have to go. More village stories to come.

YO HO HO

So I lied. I DO have the internet here at my site. So I'll be posting more stories soon. Though I have to get going. I have 548 emails to go through in an hour. Love you all.

PS I will have an address here at the new year. I will post it.
