Things I learned in Senegal

The Senegalese reputation for hospitality is well deserved.

Senegal is in fact a very expensive country.

A large urban city can have streets made entirely of sand.

You can be in a room full of missionaries and be the only American.

South Africans really like to barbeque.  (and it is good)

You can not only buy bacon, but there are quite a few pigs roaming around.

Your horn may wear out before any other part of the car.

Pedestrians do NOT have the right of way.

There are people who think 60 degrees F is VERY cold.

Eating out of the same bowl as 6 other people is really not that weird.

You can sleep through the early morning prayer call.

Life takes a lot longer.
