The Toubacouta Life

So im here in Toubacouta... a small village of about 3000 people right on the coast at the delta of the Saloum River.

Things are a lot more chill here. My family is really nice. I eat fish and rice for every meal, shower with a bucket and pee in a squat pot. There is a mouse in my room, my internship is in a protected area that is really beautiful, and i still have yet to have any sort of a schedule. Random goats, cats, chickens, donkeys, toads, etc. wander through the town and even though people here are used to seeing white people - there are a couple hotels here- i still get called toubab on my walk here to the cyber cafe - the only one in town with two computers with a connection that sometimes works - hence the lack of blogging, emails, etc.

My supervisor just showed up. so im off... see you soon.
