Good morning everyone 
Wow, can’t believe I haven’t posted in 3 days! *slaps self*
Ok, so on Friday there was a pool party for all of the people left here this summer. It was a steaming hot day, so the water was very welcome! I didn’t do my sunscreen very thoroughly and I’m still feeling it today. According to some people, I got a burn on my back that looked like a dragon! Maybe it’ll tan that way, except I never tan, so I guess it won’t.
That evening we went to my little sister Rachel’s ballet performance at the biggest theatre in Senegal! She just started dancing this year, and she loves it!
That’s her in the middle, at the front of the line.
She danced great!
Saturday afternoon, we got an acoustic piano! Doesn’t affect me too much seeing as I don’t play, but it looks nice, and my siblings are very happy. If you want the full detailed report check out Darren’s Xanga. I spent quite a while working on my “project”. The way our running water works in Dakar is basically lots of water at night, and no water during the day. So we have a reservoir on our roof which fills up and lets us use it when we are awake, or semi-awake at least 
Sometimes there is little water during the night though, and then we end up running out. So I’m hooking up a little sensor that will let us know if the reservoir is full or not. Yesterday that meant soldering 12 pieces of wire together to reach down from our roof. Today I’ll probably climb up there (that’s really why I’m doing this, because I like climbing on the roof 
) and finish it up.
Also, check out the new, totally awesome logo up in the top-right-hand corner of the page. Pretty sweet eh?
