Chuck was able to stay for a kids club that is held every Wed evening. He shared the story with the kids, they were very active listeners.
Before kids club we play games with the kids, its the best way to get them to listen to the BIble story. Scotty playing basket ball with the unruly boys.
A cutie playing jump rope.
After games all the kids pile in Herma's house, here is the mountain of shoes outside her front door.
Out and about Malika/Dakar: mattresses anyone?
The Three Kelleys: On Chuck's last day in Senegal we went to the famous Goree Island
Fist things first, when you get on the island, get lunch. Chuck loves taking picutres of his food, this one is fish.

Crystala'sl lunch: prawns and calimarie.
A musician seredaded us with a kora, a traditional Senegalese harp-like instrument.
Coffee or espresso? This cup was tiny.
Crystal harrassing the local vendors.
Chuck and Scotty walking through part of the island.
We were tired and hot so we stopped by this little bar/restaruant for some cokes.
It's simple and quaint inside, one of my favorite parts...it's quiet and there are no vendors.
Scotty chillin' with Chuck.
The view down the hill, you can see vendors selling their art on either side of the walk.
We left Goree on the ferry at sunset, it was a first for us, it was really nice.
After Goree, we took Chuck to our friends house for a few hours, then we had a nice dinner, at the traditional Senegalese time: 8:30p and then promptly got Chuck to the airport to catch his flight back to civilization. Other than a minor traffic stop, it was a wonderful and uneventful visit.
