these are the days

Yesterday was a lovely day. Another teacher and I took 5 students to the beach. The ocean is getting warm enough to swim again. It's a Senegalese custom to eat around a common bowl, but we took it one step further. We bought 1.5 L of ice cream and sat around the common container.

Then I was reminded I live in Africa when I returned from the beach and there was not a drop of water coming out of the faucets. Fortunately we had a plastic jug of water so I could take a bucket bath before graduation.

Graduation was beautiful, and we got to say our good-byes.

The next time I post I'll probably be in the U.S.
