This past Sunday afternoon there was a fête (party) in the "park" in front of our house. The fête was for our friend and neighbor's daughter, who is an MK and is about to go off to college in the USA. "Diarra" (her Senegalese name) is well loved by the people here and it was special to be at her farewell party.

Beautiful people! Senegalese always look great at a Fête (party)!

A traditional "griot," or musician, entertained the guests with his singing--he even tried to impress us with his English skills at one point by singing "Happy Birthday..."

Dancing

A-G, our little extrovert, was right at home at the Fête

Not sure who all she drank after...

"I'm ready to go!"
