Random Thoughts

Today was wonderful! I am excited for tomorrow, but today was great. We went to the “ Pink Lake ” and I put my feet in the water to feel its blessings. I was happy to find we were eating Yassah at the restaurant, then riding a dune buggy to the ocean. I can’t believe I’m here! I’ve only seen these places in pictures that Busy has shown me. It is wonderful to see the pictures become a reality.
I really didn’t know what to feel about the street vendors. Why are they so persistent? It's like they bug you until you give in.

After seeing Fallou again after a long time, seeing and feeling the pink lake and experiencing Senegal , there was still a surprise awaiting me at the hotel. When I went into my room all of my things that were sprawled out on the floor were neatly folded and put into the closet. My washed underwear was hung up and all of my toiletries were fixed nicely on the shelf. I was so surprised to see that our housekeeper wasn’t afraid to truly clean our rooms.
I didn’t mind her touching my things at all. It was very nice. I really enjoyed myself today. Today’s moments were all mine.
