Tyler's craft from school - you know live in Africa when...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday was Tabaski. \u00a0Tabaski is one of the biggest holidays here in Senegal and is quite the celebration. \u00a0Every family purchases a sheep to butcher and eat. \u00a0This year I feel like we finally mastered the “art of” Tabaski. \u00a0Last year we ran around trying to make it to every house we had been invited to. \u00a0We ended up eating 4 lunches and returning home absolutely exhausted. \u00a0Then we realized that everyone stayed home for the afternoon and went around and visited people in the evening. \u00a0So that is what we did this year. \u00a0We accepted one lunch invitation and then made rounds of visits in the evening, which was MUCH BETTER. \u00a0Slowly but surely we are learning how to follow the flow of life and culture here.<\/p>\n

Here is a little of how our day went:<\/p>\n
