Julienne talked with Madaline, the house keeper, but we don't know how to say how to get to our house. So, I went out and talked to the day watch man, Fallou. He agreed to help so Julienne passed the phone through the window and he and Madaline spoke. Now, Fallou is walking to meet Madaline. So, for many days, there will be TWO people here working at the house with us. Many people to practice our French with!
This section of Dakar is a construction zone. Many men working building houses of cement, mixing sand and gravel, and banging. The sounds are very different from construction in the US because there is almost no wood involved, so no nail guns and no saws or compressors. Just the squeek of pulleys as one person pulls the rope to lift a bucket of cement to the workers above.
All in all, it feels very comfortable.
