hehe! So, after a year away, I went back to Africa. Different this time though, because, without ever being there, I was heading HOME - well, to one of my homes anyway :-)
Barika and I are getting married at the end of the year (yee haa!) and so it was important that I saw his family, and saw his life. And man, what a fantastic experience it was. Too little time to write it all down now (I am hoping I'll come back to this), but here are some of the highlights: - The family - lovely and welcoming. And there are hundreds! - A new house - we put the roof on our new house while we were there!
- Beaches - hundreds of kms of beautiful beaches (and the tourists that go with it, boo) - Late nights and live music - The reggae! Everywhere - BEAUTIFUL handmade silver - Being given a sheep as a present on the last day from the local marabu (witch doctor). My sheep was slaughted and a feast was eaten! - St James Island / Jeffure - the home of Roots - Bribing police to get a certain family member off a police charge - Trying to bribe border police to be allowed into Senegal without a visa - Over-loaded buses Anyway, more details to follow! For now, just trying to upload my pics! Enjoy! More thumbnails ...
