When in West Africa…. Pretend like you’re in East Africa! We decided it was time to take the kids to Bandia Game Reserve for their first glimpse of African wildlife. And despite the fact that Pape did not get to ride a lion as he’d hoped, it was a pretty great experience (made even better by our exploring buddies! Looking to do some last-minute sightseeing or sticking around for the summer? With details and pricing. Bon voyage! May 28, 2015. 3 thoughts on “ When in West Africa…. May 28, 2015 at 2:21 pm.

Just like the old days: eye clinics! – Senegal Daily
https://senegaldaily.wordpress.com/2015/05/26/just-like-the-old-days-eye-clinics
Just like the old days: eye clinics! Eye clinics at Kery Yakaar (House of Hope) clinic. Over 10 years ago I realized I’d fallen in love with this guy pictured below as we did village clinics together. And recently, we got to do them again… and I fell again hard y’all. Taking tickets and doing crowd control as the team got set up for the day. People waiting outside the gate, hoping to be seen. Teachings on eye health in the waiting room. 8220;This one… or this one? Glasses bagged, sorted and ready to go.

9 things I learned as a model for NIANGO. Hair and make-up backstage. At the first dress fitting for the NIANGO. Fashion show, the first time I got to actually hang out with the designer Rachel-Diane, she started a sentence with, “When you’ve done shows like this before…” I interjected with a very elegant, lady-like snort laugh. So here we go… 9 things I learned as a model for NIANGO. More is more, y’all. See my friends Jenn and Diana? I didn’t. I was too focused on not falling! You should give it a try.

As my Instagram feed fills with pictures of spring blossoms and pasty white legs on grass, we here in Dakar are rolling up our sleeves (wondering why we chose long-sleeves at all) and looking for replacement batteries for the AC remote. So I’ve decided it’s time to share My Fashion Predictions for Summer 2015 in Dakar. Y’all ready for this? Summer 2015 is bringing that look ...

June is the worst. – Senegal Daily
https://senegaldaily.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/june-is-the-worst
June is the worst. Pape and Shawn last summer. I was standing behind them when I looked down and saw his boots. Big, huge (like massively huge) leather boots. In the millisecond it took my mind to jump back to the time we put little baby Pape in one of those gigantic boots for a quick photo, my eyes started overflowing with tears. How is it possible that in one week they will disappear from our life here in Dakar? Lunch in Almadies recently. The guys opted out of photos. At my birthday lunch Jenn planned.
