Hello all!
I just spent a wonderful day with a friend from the team I was with in central senegal. Badiane invited me to his home about 30 minutes from central dakar to eat lunch with his family. I got there around 11:30, I helped prepare the meal and had a great talk with Badiane. After living in a house filled with mostly expats it was wonderful to really experience senegalese family life. We ate lunch all gathered round one big plate in the traditional senegalese style. Warning to future senegal visitors: if you are the guest at one of these meals...start SLOW because you are expected to be the last one eating after everyone else has stopped and they will really try to keep you eating for as long as possible! After sitting for a while trying to digest the incredible lunch, we walked to the ocean which was only a 10 minute walk away.
It was a wonderful way to end the weekend!
Sending lots of hugs,
Claire
