Category Archives: West Africa This is more of my family. My mom, Adama Ndoye, is sitting in the middle, with her siblings at either side of her. This picture was taken on Sunday when we were over at the extended family’s house. Our family, by the way, seems pretty well off compared to many others that I’ve seen, and […]  More family members. You recognize Moussou on the left. Beside her is her mom, and the other two are her cousins, Awa and Kahty (the little one). Kahty’s facial expression describes her to a tea, from what I saw on Sunday. She’s a little pest, but absolutely hilarious.  This is my grandma, Mamagou (Wolof word for grandma). I don’t actually remember her real name, but isn’t she adorable? She looks exactly like what I pictured a good Senegalese grandma would look like.  This is a picture of downtown Dakar from the third floor of a building. You can see all the garbage and people below. I’ll get more, because this picture doesn’t even completely capture how insane it is down there.  This is the “che-bou-jenn” that we ate on Friday. Look at how messy we got! My hands smelled like fish for so long afterwards because you’re crushing the sauce into your skin. |
