Sept 25

so... today Waly told me that i had an internship change... i guess the internship i was gonna work with was asking for too much money... i dunno... kinda a long story... BUT
i'm going to a place called toubacouta...
we are actually going there next weekend for a four day excursion... so i'll get to see where i'll be living! i'm excited! so on this map (you can zoom in more): http://www.iss.co.za/af/profiles/Senegal/senegal_rel89.jpg

it is south of Dakar the coast... just south of Ndangane (my town is not on the map...). but i'll be working in a national park right there... where there's a ton of mangroves and bamboo..... its right on the coast still and the place i'll be staying is small but i'll still have internet (probably in a small shady net cafe of a shack....) and phone access... so i'll still be able to keep in touch. but yeah... i'm excited! it should be a lot of fun!

aaand tomorrow we are going to Saint Louis for the weekend! i'm really excited! just about 6 or 7 of us are going... we have to take a taxi to this random place where you 'rent' "sept places"... which are just station wagons that you can take places... the ride will be about 4 hours in a stuffed station wagon... and two nights stay in a 10 dollar hostal... should be fun. alrighty tighty...
damay dem. ba baneen yoon....
i hope u all are doing well... keep me posted on your lives!
love you.
