Two weeks to go before departure. Dad and Margaret are here helping out with packing. They took the kids for a day so Julienne and I could work on projects and sorting, then today, Dad worked on a big painting project and Margaret went through the whole pantry! She also sat with Skylar as he sorted through bag after bag of "shelf" stuff - things the rest of the family has no use for but that Skylar, when he was younger, really loved. Thankfully, he's getting better at letting things go as we try to not fill the attic with stuff we won't want on return!
We just got back from dinner with a friend, Elliot Kelly, with whom I worked in Amherst 4 years ago. He and his family just returned from a two year stint teaching at a school in Singapore. Interested to compare the experience he had in a very modern, clean, English speaking city with the experience we expect to have in Dakar, a modern, not super clean, French and Walof speaking city. Stay tuned!
