Back!

IST ended yesterday and today I returned to my lovely, quaint Bambey. The trip back here was not so lovely but I made it back (and so did my bag which I actually thought I was going to lose deal to the utter horribleness of the apprentice aka baggage guy).
My first task (aside from greeting the hfam) was to clean my room. Luckily Steve (the lizard) had not taken over, but instead I was faced with a THICK layer of dust over EVERYTHING. About two hours of moving, sweeping, mopping, sweeping, moving later, my room was as clean as it was getting and it was time for lunch.

As we were sitting down to the bowl Youssou walked in and greeted me. He asked how Thies was and, after I gave the standard "delicious," he said, "but Bambey's better, right?" And of course I agreed!

The afternoon wasn't too exciting, I visited Matar and hung out some more with the host fam. Tomorrow I'm starting in on tackling the epic work to-do/ideas list that I created during IST... more updates to come I'm sure!
