This photo, taken in Palmarin, Senegal a few weekends ago gave me a “Huh, I do live in Africa!” moment. The random cows in the road and begging children by my car must not be enough for me.
The reserve we camped in near Palmarin was so beautiful. The landscape was (obviously) pretty and it was a nice escape from the everyday honking and bustle of Dakar. Just us, the mangroves, and two people in our group passing horrid gas in a small tent. Ahh, what comes with travel.

She will reside in Dakar until summer 2013, when she and her family will move to another foreign post as part of her husband’s career with the U.S. government. In addition to West Africa, she has traveled to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy and Costa Rica and plans to continually add to that list.
