I wrote the last post anticipating being able to post it using the internet on my roof. Unfortunately, that has decided to stop working. Instead of re-writing what I wrote so that it's current, I'll just post again right now.
Elections were yesterday but it was kind of anti-climactic. Out of the 14 candidates, it was narrowed down to 2. Abdoulye Wade (the current president) and Macky Sall. I think that there will be another round of elections in a couple of weeks to settle this once and for all (hopefully!). It was really interesting last night listening to the radio though. Starting around 6PM and going until at least 10:30 (when I went to bed), they have people reading off all of the votes for each candidate from each "bureau de vote". It seems like a slightly unconventional way to go about it to me, but it works for them I guess!
It's been nice to have time off, for sure, but 4 days with no school and being confined to my neighborhood is a little much. I did a lot of homework, so that's good! Yesterday I spent the day at Camille's. She bought the kids Monopoly and we played for hours. They had a good time.
I'm sorry I don't have more pictures to post! I'll work on that for sure.
keep the posts coming. It's great to know what you are up to!
