<-- Me, Jeanne and Felicia on the terrace

Last week we bid farewell to Felicia who is off to Nigeria for the next leg of her research. I already miss her Jolof rice and dinner-time fieldwork stories. Now Duma has arrived with her fresh-from-new york treats and I am very happy with the realization of the Jeanne-Courtney-Duma trio. We figure we will probably be known to locals in our area as "those racially-ambiguous girls in Ouakam." (Here, if you are not Senegalese, white, or black with dark skin, you are inevitably categorized as metisse (mixed) or cap verdian.)
