That's a Baobab tree, for those of you who don't know. Looking at any of my pictures from my time in Senegal makes me a little bit sad - I miss it! Too much to really look at those pictures very often. Not just the place and the people, although obviously that plays a huge part in it, but also the work - it's the only time I've felt such a rightness about where I was and what I was doing. Fortunately, my self-imposed exile is soon to end - first Bible College, then back to Africa! Hurrah! We don't know exactly where we're going to be yet, and a lot can happen in a year, but East Africa is looking likely - it's not Senegal, but I'm assured they have Baobabs there too.

Day 8: A photo that makes you angry/sad
I don't recall having any photos that make me angry - I'm not sure why anyone would keep such a photo; surely that would lead you down the miserable road to bitterness? Although I'm sure I could find one online that illustrates some human rights outrage that would probably inspire anger. Anyway, I'm going to go down the 'sad' route instead.

Great that you so enjoyed your time with us. We miss you too. Sure you're not going to come back this way? (Dakar apparently still has the best Internet in sub-Saharan Africa!)
