As my time here in Senegal is quickly approaching an end, it's hard to find fun things to write about, as everything seems so normal. The daily routine, my constant surroundings, the language I speak.. while 2 years ago I couldn't even imagine it, is now my norm. Therefore it's nice to have visitors to gain a little perspective on your situation; they notice and point out things that no longer strike you as different, and remind you that you're doing something that not many people do. While I haven't had any visitors (ahem, you guys only have 4 months left to make the trip over!) my friend Claire's mom and sister recently visited, and made it all the way to Claire's village in Matam. They wrote beautiful guest posts on Claire's blog that I just had to share: Mom, Sister (Annie).
Enjoy!
