Bonsoir, ma cherie. Ton blog est merveilleux. Greetings from Austin. What a fantastic blog....your photos and your writing really show what an amazing place you're in and how completely different it is from life in the USA. So sorry to hear about Sammy. I will miss Sammy! She was such a beautiful cat and a wonderful member of the Sly family. Tonight in the Morris household we have enjoyed chicken and rice (and Millie, that naughty dog, got a-hold of a chicken leg when we weren't looking). Then we watched Modern Family. Weather is pleasant....70 in the morning, 85 in the day. Chip and I are going to Conway to see Vanessa in late October. I will be interested to know if Senegalese recognize anything close to Halloween traditions? Keep on blogging!!
