A Funny Little Something...
Let me preface this story with the fact that the majority of people here in Senegal rely upon bucket baths for most personal hygeine needs. I understand that eventually, I too may rely upon the bucket bath... HOWEVER, for the time being I choose to use the showers at our training center to wash my hair and use the bucket only for body washing when I wont have access to a shower. This said...
I got to the center early Monday morning to shower and change quickly into my clean clothes so I wouldnt be late for breakfast (even though I dont really eat). Long story short, a couple of minutes after getting dressed I felt something in my pants and a little lizard ran out! I know, I know, thats totally gross.. but the crazier part is that I didnt even freak out! I DIDNT FREAK OUT(can you believe that?!). I actually thought it was sort of funny. The Africa experience has already changed me for the better...
PS! I GOT A PHONE!!!! You can call me any time after 2pm your time and any time Saturdays or Sundays... I am four hours ahead of you East Coast folk... zitht he country code and all the number is 0112213000302
miss you all!!! especially you poppy!!

Ash,
I would have been freaking out -- I hate bugs and insects. I can't believe you are acclimating so well to such a tremendously unique culture. Stay safe.

Hi Ashleigh,
I will send your care pkg 10/10. Please let me know when you receive it if possible. I hope I'm not too late. Also, hope you are doing great. I look forward to your next blog. On the Travel Channel there are two upcoming programs about Africa. I can't wait to watch. I hope one is about near where you are. Africa is huge as you know.
Love, aunt Cleo xox
