came and went

Pete and Jenn came to visit us...and already went back home.  Sorry for being so lame at posts.  The first couple of days they were here they were jet lagging and we were working around the shop, but the third day they were here we did the famous Goree Island tour.  So, here are Pete and Jenn on the boat to the island.

Here is the crew (Fiona and Alison had just gotten off a plane a few hours before this so they were SUPER troopers for doing the island thing even though they were jet lagging).

We stopped for lunch at this super cute/off the beaten path restraunt that was anything but fast, despite their sign saying they were "fast food".

Steak and "freets", AKA fries.

Many local artists live and do business on the island, this is one of their houses/show rooms.

One side of the island has steep cliffs into the ocean, it's beautiful.

Another artist working on mixed media art (for reals Jake).  They take garbage, arrange it and add some paint and voila, they have art.  The machine gun looking thing behind this guy is part of the old castle, used to defend the island.

Now, the empty bunkers have become homes/shops as well as camping grounds for the "off-the-beaten-path" tourist.  Here the crew is walking across a "bridge" over a stair well leading to a bunker.

We had to stop by the old church and Pete, being the pastor he is, had to check out the old pulpit.  I think we need one of these at Dox, eh?

This is just day 3 of their trip, more to come!!!
