Today was Tabaski!!! There are approximately 1.5 million less sheep in Senegal than there were yesterday :) If you are not familiar with this day, it is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic world. I got the unique experience to go back to my training family for the day since I am not yet situated in my permanent site. It was a great day and besides the sheep slaughtering, I was also invited to go to the mosque with some members of my family for the morning prayer. (how's that for integration!)
It was a surreal day of lounging around, drinking tea, and stuffing my face. Definitely going to miss my CBT family. So now I need to pack my shit because early tomorrow I will make my trek to Kolda for the real deal.

Happy Thanksgiving Justin... Hope you are settling in to your village and the life there. I remember my Thanksgiving in Velingara well. I cooked the toughest chicken I have ever eaten!!! It was 1967, 44 years ago!
