I took a head count this morning as my team and I meandered out the front door with all of the astute lucidity of six drunken sailors on leave-and at aproximately 0900, all six were still breathing, of relatively sound mind, and accounted for.
Which would suggest that we’ve made it through the first four days of this year’s summer project! In Dakar that’s a win, kids.
The mayhem commenced at 4:00 AM on Tuesday morning, when my alarm rudely pierced the black of night and cajoled my unwilling body out of bed. Exhausted, I slowly reached for the light switch-only to discover that much to my dismay, the electricity was off.
Hi dear. Stting in bed at a Bed and Breakfast in England. Praying for your dust covered self. Love you bunches.
Ahhh, I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures! I’m thinking La Farm for coffee and brownies. Miss you dearly-so excited to see you soon!
Take care of those EKU girls for me Ashley! :)

I absolutely will! :)
HI there!! I’m not sure if you’re still in Dakar, but I wanted to talk with you to get some of your advice about living there. I’ve accepted a job offer and will move there the end of August to Fenetre Mirmoz. Let me know if you have a minute to give me some advice :) BTW, love the blog…absolutely hilarious!!!
Hi! Absolutely-I’d love to answer your questions. Whom are you working with? What can I help with?
I will be with EAB (Ecole Actuelle Bilingue) teaching middle school and younger. I would love to know if you know anybody that is looking to rent out a decent place for cheap near fenetre mirmoz… any friends that you could put me in contact with there to show me around….did you get a bank acct there….did you have to send $$ home to pay bills or know anyone that did? (I will be paid w/a Senegalese bank acct.) Anything that you would recommend brining from here to there (that you cant find there?) Did you ship anything over there? Any advice at all that you have :) would be awesome!
