update

Quick update

I have moved into my training village.  My host family speaks Mandinka and that is also, what I am learning.  The language learning is going slow but I am picking it up It isn’t a mud hut technically like I thought because they add cement to the mud when making the blocks.  There is no electricity and I shower using a coffee cup and bucket.  The food is good rice, fish, and vegetables with a  sauce of sorts.

TSA didn’t actually steal anything, I searched a little harder and found them so a sigh of relief there.

  2. Your mom mentioned you didn't get reception inside on your last call. That would make sense if you're staying in a hut made of cement and mud! Thanks for the updates Mike!
