First day in Senegal! Which, strangely...feels like it's been a couple days...hard to believe we arrived at 5:00am this morning.
The plane ride was smooth. It was a light flight, so we were able to stretch out...pretty happy about that! They also gave us complimentary toothbrushes, eyemasks, and socks(see below). Awesomeness. Didn't think there was ANYTHING complimentary on airplanes anymore. We even got a MEAL.
It is just amazing to be put out of your comfort zone from the moment you get off the plane. I think it's good for you. The rest of today consisted of an uncomfortable serving of fish at lunch. The fish still had its teeth (see below). Enough said. We then went and talked to some wonderful people at the World Vision national offices.
Oh, and of course, Brant provided lots of awkwardness at dinner trying to speak French. Only not really French, more just trying to speak with an authentic French accent. See the video. I rest my case.
Au revoir for now friends!

Yikes! I had fish like that in England. I had to cut its head off and bury it under my potatoes. I cannot handle my food staring at me :-)

Wow, I am really scared of that fish! What is it? Did you eat any of it? I always tell my kids to eat what is put in front of them when they are guests, but not sure I could chow down on that.
