going out of town tomorrow!

Tomorrow morning, at the butt-crack of dawn, we'll hit the road for Foundioune! Assane's uncle volunteered to drive us (me, Assane, Yemi- Vicki's sitting this one out). We're leaving at 6am, and should get there at 9am or just thereafter. Not bad.

I'm really excited for this trip. Assane will introduce us to his family, and I'm sure they'll welcome us with an absurd amount of hospitality. We'll probably stop along the way and pick up some foodie treats for them as a way to say thanks.

I don't know what else we have on the agenda, other than a boat ride (in a pirogue- the fishing boats that look like big, painted canoes) to a few islands and beaching it. I think there might be a national park there, too, but I'm not sure. I'll have to bring along the ol' guidebook.

Anyway, we get back on Monday, so you won't hear from me for the next couple of days. But don't worry, we're in the best of hands. Take good care until then!

MUAH!!!!
