The Double V - Vicki Visits!






Well I am not even sure where to start.... the last month has been a complete blur.... My Peace Corps Project has finished and we had a small ceremony to celebrate the completion of the project
As all of you know, I was lucky enough to receive a vis
iter from America... That's right...
Vicki made a visit to Burkina...


It was a long week that went by way too fast! It started with my mom's plane arriving on time which I was completely surprised about. The first day in Burkina we hit up the tailor and she got an outfit made... here is the final product... I think
she was really happy with it!

Our time including eating some traditional Burkinabe foods and one dish in particular she had to try was To. It's the staple dish here in Burkina. She had the chance to see the life that I have created here, my friends, some of my work, and a little bit of Burkina. The next few pictures are from the week she spent in my village and around Burkina including Po where we got to see an ELEPHANT in the WILD!



When mom left I continued to work on my world map project so the week afterwards I finished drawing the map and then two volunteers that live near me came and helped me paint... all i have left now is to write the names and label things...

Okay lastly I am sorry this post is not at all organized... i didn't have time but I wanted to add some other photos but i couldn't. Everything is going well here... just busy. missing you all.
