Christmas this year was spent in Kaolack with just a handful of other lovely PCVs. Here's what went down:
1. Xmas Eve: Teresa made up a filling potato soup with garlic bread made by Emily. This was followed by mulled wine and prank phone calls in Wolof to other PCVs in country.
2. Xmas day Brunch: Scrambled eggs, chocolate chip pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and fruit salad.
3. Afternoon relaxation - that's really all it was...
4. Xmas Dinner: Salad with Ranch dressing and Bacon bits, Mac N Cheese, apple crisp with ice cream. Holy crap it was amazing!
*Special thanks to Teresa's loving family for sending special commodities like ranch and bacon bits, things not readily available here in Senegal.
I was also able to call most of my close friends and family thanks to the powers of internet and skype.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God bless all!
