grace bailhache senegal postcardI’m so happy to be back to the Postcard Friendship Friday  « rendez-vous ». After Boston Beacon Hill, let me take you to West Africa with this postcard from Senegal. Last week, I made it to visit all the participants, I didn’t comment all the blogs posts, but I saw, learned, discovered new stories,  places and people too. I appreciate those little things that make me happy. This postcard is very special to me because of the sender who was a postcard and letters lover.  My friend Nik and his wife bought a house in Senegal years ago and they invited me years after years but I always had a good reason not to go. He told me a lot about how the Baobab tree is  useful for senegalese, they cook baobab leaves in stews, they eat its fruit and also boil the bark in water to make a medicine for fever. I still can hear his voice talking with passion about my next visit to Senegal, our visit to Goree’s island, Tambacounda and others places I don’t even remember. SiC !  Nik is gone to heaven last year, the house is sold, and all that reminds me that life is short.

This is my entry for Postcard Frienship Friday  feel free to join us !

  1. I love this postcard. It is amazing to me how they use every part of this tree–yet it continues to live on like a benevolent protecting providing angel.

    Your story is sad,though. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us, along with this wonderful postcard.

    Have a good weekend and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.

    1. You are absolutely right Beth, it’s a miracle tree. Thank you for popping by to see the postcard and see you next friday.

  2. I have never been in africa but Senegal, Kenya, Egypt are the country I want to see one day. Is it a good or a bad thing for you to look this card (cf lundi de motivation) ?

    1. That nice. I hope you will make it. Have you planned anything or are they just wishes dear ? The fact, that I publish it means that I have (finally) accepted.

  3. Very nice Grace. People who leave in the past, they are not appreciating the present.
