Getting better

Hey all. Things are all starting to get better. I'm getting a lot more used to the living conditions and I'm making a lot of Senegalese friends who are helping me adjust quickly to the culture. Last weekend I went to my first Soccer match, it was Senegal versus Burkina Faso and Senegal won 5-1 oh yeah!! It was quite something, I opted to not sit with the other Americans I'm here with and I ended up in the middle of a wild and crazy bunch of Senegalese. Last weekend I also visited Gorée Island ...it's a tropical island 15 minutes off the coast of Dakar with lots of history. We visited the slave house on Gorée where all the slaves were kept after they had been taken from the mainland Senegal. After we visited the museums and the slave house, we hit the beach, aw yeah!

I took some pictures of my neighborhood for all to see.
These are the roads I walk on to school:

It reminds me of Uganda! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well, Kyle. I'm excited to see you when you come back, we all miss you! God bless!
