Day Trois

I arrived in Theis yesterday and have been spending the day saying goodbye to Maxs friends. This post will be short because Im using a french keyboard that is very difficult to type on due to a different arrangement of keys. Overall, the poverty here is striking almost beyond belief. Max needed to walk through a trash field on the way to his school. On the other hand, the people here for the most part are extremely friendly and accomadating to a toobop like me. Maxs host family are wonderful hosts. The heat here is intense. Also, I got to meet and hang out with two of maxs Senegalese freinds who are very cool, they served us tea and watched tv outside of their shanties.

So, overall, things are going very well. I wish I had kept up with my french a little. My biggest problem is I forgot my camera charger so Im trying to figure out how to deal with that. Hope all is well in the states.
