The way I was holding my bou-bou pants from getting dirty made Yemi think I looked like a girl going to the prom. And, in fact, that's what I felt like! The gray and green ones were tailored, but I purchased the white one at the market. The tailored ones, if I were Senegalese, would probably only be worn on Fridays for the grand trip to the mosque, or for fancy occasions, or if I were a professional in some capacity (usually they have more of a sheen to them). Most of the "everyday" bou-bous look more like the white one, and in different colors, of course.
The last picture is of a lizard that found its way into Yemi's room. It was probably the length of my pinky finger- it was really quite adorable! But we had to kill it. Assane said that if a lizard like that walks on your skin at night while you're asleep, your whole arm would swell up (or whatever it walked across... can you imagine your face? eek!) Apparently the cute lil' devils have poison on their paws. Sad that we had to kill him, but better for Yemi!
