Nit nitaay girabam.

L'homme est le remede de l'homme. The man is the remedy of the man; man is the solution to his own problems. This Wolof proverb was written at the bottom of our travel itinerary. For the next nine days, we will be travelling to various cities around Senegal, including Thies, Touba, St. Louis, and the village of Mouit. We are visiting many places, including visits to the Grand Mosquee in Touba, visiting a monestary, and spending four nights in a village. During this trip I am hoping to explore Senegalese life around other cities as well as in a village setting. Rather than having a cake and presents for my birthday, I think it will be cool to get to know Senegalese as possible; if I can overcome the language barrier. 3 weeks of Wolof, watch out here comes Paige!
