I Bless the Rains Down in Africa. 8220;Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? 8221; Mary Oliver. Monday, February 14, 2011. It's been a traumatic couple of days. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. Not only is all of the food delicious, they sell PBRs at the bar and there is also live country music most nights. Next time, I'm bringing my cowboy boots and starting a line dance. Once dinner was finished, it was time to head back uptown where the remainder of Friday...

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Good Hair and New Friends. A couple weeks ago I got my hair braided for the first time.

Extensions and she went to work. Once we were all coiffed and fancy we put on our complet. Outfits and headed out to introduce everyone to the Peace Corps Volunteer who'll be arriving in May to install in Salémata. As soon ...

I Bless the Rains Down in Africa. 8220;Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? 8221; Mary Oliver. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Family (American, that is). I'll be really honest with you, the hardest part about being here, is being so far away from friends and family and feeling like you may be missing out on things back home. Especially on a day like today (it's Father's Day, in case you missed the title of this blog post). As I am still in Dakar (ugh! Corps de la Paix. Mail fr...

A pretty intense blog title don't you think? And what could I be talking about you ask? Mosquitos. In the 3 and 1/2 months since I've been in Senegal I've come to decide that they are the enemy, the ultimate enemy. Forget serial killers and terrorists, kidnappers and Republicans (oops, did I say that last one out loud? Doesn't that just look evil?

This Senegalese Life: January 2013

Friday, January 25, 2013. Siblings Abroad: The Island Life.
