Day 70: Back in Nder

We came back to Nder today: 2 days later than we had originally scheduled. The delay in our departure was due mostly in part to the Senegalese students and staff that needed extra time after the Korite festival. Almost all of our (American students) time in Yoff was spent hanging around, and doing stuff (not much though) to prepare for this second voyage to Nder.

After arriving at around 8pm last night, we ate dinner (which was actually really good; pasta & chicken) and soon thereafter, went to sleep. Because of some issues with their university, some of the Senegalese students (and staff) were not able to join us for at least 1 week of this second trip. So, instead of staying with Eric (like last time), I stayed with Rich (who hadn’t come with us on the first trip here.)
