Notes from a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal. Saturday, June 19, 2010. Well, I did a rather slow job at updating this before I was done. I have a series of half finished entries that maybe I will complete when I get the chance. I am done in Senegal now. Im starting a new blog on my China experience so check that out if you are interested. Thursday, March 11, 2010.

Will they like me when I show up to their cocktail party looking like a dirty hippie wearing bright African colored prints and 500 CFA plastic sandals? Remember when you were young and anything was possible? My eyes.
