Stáge in Thiés, Senegal, West Africa
9 July 1999

Asaala maleekum!

My house host family in Senegal is trés gentille. I am having a great time so far. I am learning French and Wolof (the regional language). Nothing bad has happened to me yet. C'est vrai! The people of Thiés are great and so are my new Peace Corps friends. It has been 100º+ F lately in Thiés. Il fait chaud! Jamm rakk (means 'peace only' in Wolof)

Mike
