update

So after the holiday we had a huge party and were able to eat meat again. So I finished the month and had fasted for two weeks which was hard but much glad its over and people feel like doing suff and working again. Its kinda like everyone shut down for a month.

I met some really cool people during the vacation but they have gone back to Conakry, sad face. Oh well next summer. I found some waterfalls in my village. Amazing waterfalls that are about a 25 walk from my house and even closer than my own market. I didn’t bring my camera so of course no photos but the most interesting part is that this is the Gambie river that passes through my village. Pretty ipressive; so they gave the name of this point Gambie. I also scales a mountain, it was an hour trek but it was really nice and there were filed of fields of crops. Also there was a beautiful view of the village from up there, and yet again I didn’t have my camera.

Things are going good with work. I don’t want to say too much because its very aggravating talking about it and Im feeling happy now. Im starting to like little kids a little more which is pretty good. I liked them before but not when they come to my house to stare at me and now I guess im used to it.

My host family is doing ok. They are very awesome, I think sometimes I can be annoying cause I say the same ten Pular sentences every day with nothing better to talk about. Cest comme ca, Ka I cant fing the question mark.

K. Hope all is well I don’t have much time In town so catch up sooner than later. Miss ya, luv ya.
