it may be a while before we can write again, tomorrow we are off to a huge muslim pilgrimage in touba, senegal with our friend masamba. we are staying with his relatives and getting the whole experience, should be very interesting... We are wondering if we will see any animal sacrifices since we heard that is common at these types of events! after touba we are flying to mali to ride camels in the sahara!
everyone send us your good energy! krystals stomach is worse than ever, man africa is kicking our asses! thank god for immodium!
but that didnt stop us from enjoying a final meal with our senegalese family this afternoon; it was called maffé, peanut sauce, rice, veggies and beef! yes, krystal ate it too and tried to eat around the meat but likely ate some; when in rome... Jara, one of the cooks, also told us how to make the dish so we can try at home one day!
hope everyone is surviving the cold days, we will be wishing for cold when we get to mali where it is in the mid 30s!!
