So I finally made it all the way back down to Kedougou. It only took me 17 days from the time I arrived in Dakar. I took my time coming down as I hope not to go back to the capital until August when I leave. The road is a nightmare that I would rather not face again.
Like it says in the title, it is really freakin hot right now. Not to complain but it is over 105 everyday, or over 40 for you celsius peeps, and there is a total water crisis in Kedougou. What does that mean? No water flows from the faucets. A truck comes around once a day and people line up to fill up buckets. So when you really just want to wash the sweat and dirt off you look at your bucket and have to decide whether to drink or bathe. Which did I choose... let's just say I am really thirsty but smell great.
Here is a pic of the bucket of water I am talking about. It doesn't smell but it doesn't make you want to touch it either.
This week I must interview a bunch of girls for the annual scholarship SeneGAD gives out. I also have to pass out a bunch of seeds to my villagers and make arrangements for a Girl's Leadership camp I am putting on. Busy little bee for my last few months.
So here are some great pics from my dad's wedding. I had a great time being all sorts of pretty for the day. The wedding was a beautiful and intimate affair. The house looked amazing and the garden was spectacular. Class the whole way.
Me and my dad
The Five Kids
The Four Girls
The Beautiful Bride and my bro
Well that is all the update I can muster for the moment. I wish you all a good whatever.
