Bouroum Bouroum was wonderful. The trip from Ouaga is not bad, five hours of paved roads. Every stop we made, women ran up to the bus with goodies like peanuts, seasame crackers, sandwiches, and other treats. Bouroum Bouroum or Bouroum^2 really consists of one main road, which conviently the bus stops on. The road had little huts up and down offering different services and goods. The marche [market] day was Thursday so we were able to go check it out. It had much more for fruits and vegetables to offer than where I’m at now. I was really surprised at the variety of language I heard, there are three predominately-spoken languages: Moore, Djula, and Lobiri. Since my host family speaks Moore I feel the most comfortable with the salutations but we got a crash course in Lobiri before we went down and it’s kind of a fun language!
This week we have been preparing for model school and my first lesson is Monday 8 a.m. I’m terrified.. but hey ca va aller- which means it’ll all work out! I’ve gotten a few letter and packages. Man is it comforting having just a little bit of home. It’s also really nice to hear what everyone is up to :) so please keep writing! I'm still trying to post pictures so just bare with me!
