The girls got to dress up in their fancy new outfits and even get make-up done!! Muskuta is a neice also just around for the holidays! She is definitely a sweetheart!!
Keba with Fatou (Boundao and Keba's 7 year old daughter) I would call her a sweetheart but that would be lying....she is a bit of a princess in the house and know it!! But she isn't all bad!!
Boundao cooking a yummy meal to break the fast for the last time!! Mmm, chicken, fries and salad!!
The day that Ramadan ended...everyone gathered to pray together!
I should add that when I say Keba cleans and washes the Mouton...I mean he watches while Ousmane does all the work! That is what having children is for...right :)
Keba and his mouton! This is back at home. Keba spends HOURS on the roof watching his mouton, feeding them, medicating them, cleaning them, talking to them.... you can safely say they are his favorite hobby!!
An amazing dwarf baobab tree...me...and our guide...
Dakar in the background!
Apparently there is a djinn who lives on the island and refuses to let anyone build. These are the ruins of a house a famous scientist tried to build but it kept falling down! So when they built the watch tower on the island they carried out some ceremonies to ask for permission...must have worked because the tower is still standing!
Amazing!
Sarah, my french roomie and I came here and we were the ONLY two on the island...with our boat driver, and two guides but...that was it!!
Les Isles de la Madeleine...where to go if you want to feel like you left Dakar by thousands of kilometers but in reality you are just a short boat ride away!
This is me on a beach in Tahiti...JUST KIDDING! But you almost believe me didn't you?
This Ousmane - Keba's son who lives in Ziganchour but is visiting for the vaction! He gets the fun job of washing the mouton every weekend.
The friendly mouton! Keba doesn't kill them for Tabaski or any other event....he prefers to sell these guys and buy 'unknown' mouton for himself!! Or else it would be too hard!!
My window!
My room!
That is where the mouton live - when they aren't roaming around and pooing all over the roof!! Keba (the dad in the house) actually keeps it quiet clean but sometimes those mouton just get out of hand!
This is the roof top of where I live! I come up here for cool air and to watch the Mouton!
