Return to Dakar

After a summer of travel--3.5 weeks in US in June/early July and then until mid-August, I toured Europe. I arrived back in Dakar August 15th. While I was away, the school moved me into a new apartment--Martine had cleaned and set up almost everything for me. The most painless move of my life! The new place is great, the year is off to a good start with the kids, enjoying the new hires at the same time, I am missing those who have moved on to new jobs in new places.

It is only 3 weeks into the school year, and we have a long weekend (Friday was the end of Ramadan, the holiday here is called Korite) and we have professional development Monday and Tuesday.
