So, I'm sitting in a building called the "disco hut" for no obvious reasons, taking advantage of the resort-like conditions (like, we have electricity and toilets, and Super good food). Not sure what to really say about this experience, except its waaay trippy.
We arived in Dakar just before 6 am yesterday morning, still dark, practically no sleep, and made it to Thies by about 8:45. The drive was plenty enough to keep me awake anyway. WOW. A field of baobabs in the mist of early morning? Beautiful. And there were so many people by the road! And buses full of them. The morning commute, Senegal style. Very cool, and simultaneously very overwhelming. By the end of the day I felt pretty rough. So, I went to bed. And layed there for two hours.
Still, I managed to get about 7 hours of sleep, and today has been much better. Its really quite beautiful here, and they actually took us out into the city of Thies today for a short look around. Pictures and details to come.
Wow you made it, that is wonderful, what are baobabs?
ReplyDeleteAnd so, I gather that "present moment" is the same in Africa as in Missouri? They are so lucky to have you there, Jessica. Play, play, play. And don't forget to have fun. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us... don't know if I will ever make it to Africa, so am really glad to have this vicarious experience through you! Lots and lots of love from Para Devi and all the Ishayas in Colorado!
