Pete and Scotty working on making djembes in the shop.
One of my favorite things we did while Pete and Jenn were here was spending time on our roof watching the sunsets and talking.
Another great sunset in paradise.
Senegaleses traffic, yes that is a man walking between the cars trying to sell stuff.
Pete working on his drum skills.
Because sunglasses on dogs are ALWAYS funny.
Distributing Jake's 600+ pairs of sandals in Keur Soce.
Boubou retelling the story of how Jake's students donated shoes for the Keur Soce kids.
It's kind of like a graduation ceremony, you know, shake hands and get your pair of shoes?
Getting dinner at the hotel after driving WAY TOO LONG.
Pete on Main St., Keur Soce.
A guy carrying stuff on his head, probably grass to fix his roof.
Keur Soce at sunset.
Pete bringing the message in Djourbel.
After church we had lunch with Jgon, here he is showing us pictures of his first son, only a few months old.
Senegalese eat REALLY late lunches, this one was at 3:30p, so while we all would have loved to eat the entire plate ourselves, we had to share.
Back at home, Scotty putting the finishing touches on Pete's new djembe.
Djbib teaching Pete some new beats. Djibi also makes drums and he gave Scotty 2 thumbs up on the drum he made for Pete (the green one).
Naturally, we had to play in Herma's pool. We did that game where you stand on someone's shoulders and they launch you, this is Scotty launching Crystal...
...and Jenn launching Pete.
Last meal for Pete and Jenn in Senegal was, of course, at a German's home: our friend Barbara.
We counted and with 8 people sitting at the table we had 5 nationalities present, pretty cool, eh? (Dutch, British, German, Canadian, American, but I am pretty sure Herma counts as 2 because, she's really Senegalese).
Walking home from Barbara's. Somehow Herma manages to make even walking in the sand look good, can't say the same for the rest of us.
K, it's time for you to go home now. Poor Pete and Jenn had to be at the airport at 1a to catch their 3a flight back to the states, least they look good on this end.
Miss you guys, can't wait to see you in Sept.
