And what a year it's already shaping up to be! I dropped off the radar for the last month while my family was here, and then I spent the past two weeks getting my research project ready. After we help with the orientation for the spring MSID students next week, I head off to Sessène on Tuesday! Crazy, right?
A lot of the highlights of our trip have been available on facebook, but to recap (photo credits to Karen Carney):
We spent the first few days in Dakar:
 |
| In front of the Marche Kermel |
 |
| Mom and I in front of the Theodore Monod Art Museum |
 |
| Will, me and Dad in front of the UCAD library |
 |
| Île de Gorée |
Then on to Saint-Louis:
 |
| Will and I at the Hotel Cap Saint-Louis |
 |
| The pelican nesting grounds in Djoudj National Reserve |
And then on to Toubacouta:
 |
| Dad in a baobab |
 |
| The Hotel Keur Saloum |
 |
| Green Monkeys hung around the hotel begging for (and stealing) food |
And back to Dakar.
 |
| Downtown Dakar |
 |
| The Monument of the African Renaissance |
It was a really great trip, and I miss those folks already! Still, I feel pretty good about the next few months. Next post should be from Sessène!
