My last blog from Senegal. Sigh. I leave for the airport in 20 minutes. I plan to write a reflective blog later but I wanted to write about my adventures from yesterday.
My roomie and I went to walk around a place with really cool rocks. As we were driving there, we saw a taxi take a corner too fast (coming into the area around the Plaza de Independence). His door flew open. No worries though. He reached with BOTH hands to shut it while still in motion. Oh, how I'll miss the drivers here.
Anyways, to make a long story short (because of time), my roomie and I were sitting on rocks letting our feet dangle over the edge. The water really wasn't coming up so we weren't in any danger. Suddenly a huge waves comes, soaks us, AND sweeps my roomie's purse into the cove along with one shoe and part of a hamburger from Times Cafe. At first we were shocked. Then I asked where our truck keys were. You guessed it-they were in the bag. By now the bag was about 50 feet away. Since we were in a cove, I told my roomie not to dive in b/c the currents were tricky. Suddenly I saw some men and flagged them down. They bravely dove into the water and retrieved all the items. What an afternoon.
Well, over and out from Senegal.
Thanks for reading.

Oh, in case you care....My last meal was a hamburger complet (hamburger, fries, egg, tomato, lettuce, cheese, ketchup, and mayo), nems (sp?) glass-bottled coke, and Biskrem.
