A Few More Photos

I thought I'd post a few more photos while I have access to the internet. The national strike was postponed until April 8th and even that's not for sure. We decided to stop waiting and just go to Kerouane to visit the family. We'll leave here on Friday and will only stay there a few days. After our short visit we'll have to head to Conakry to extend our visas and get more malaria prophylaxis. We'll also be finalizing our schedule for the summer and our eventual return home. As soon as things are figured out I'll post all the details.

I think the woman in the background is the woman Charlie referred to in his comment from the last post. While we were there she was cracking jokes and laughing with her co-workers. As we were leaving I wished her well and said I hoped she found a diamond. She went crazy clapping and dancing.

My friend Mr.Bah and his wife Aminata just had a new baby. Matt, Charlie and I were lucky enough to see her right after she was born. Her name is Mymoona Bah. Here's a photo of the family: Mr.Bah, Aminata with Mymoona, Tierno (Max's best friend) and Mariam.
