Day 61: Six Great Things About Africa

six great things about Africa:

1.  Gas station pagne-Buying fabric in Africa is a must. Most tailors are marginal at best but the ridiculous patterns make up for the less than stellar craftsmanship. Recently I spent 10,000 CFA on a pagne of gas station themed fabric. It is beautiful.

2. Fish Dinner-When we're allowed to stay out past curfew the fish mommies come out an make delicious grilled fish served with manioc or fried plantains. It is amazing. After eating the fish we burn the bones and eat them like potato chips only in Africa...

4.  Tie Dye- another great pagne. Emily (another stagiere's host mom) gave tie dying lessons last Sunday. Very soon I will be rocking tie dye.

5.  Model school is over-as part of our training the education volunteers have been teaching at summer school. It wasn't terrible but I don't think anyone will be sad to see it end.

6.  Less than two weeks til we go to post. I cannot wait to have my own space and to finally unpack.
