I’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 !
Happy friday friendship !

Le Sénégal est un pays que je rêve de visiter et en plus tu nous as choisi un guide qui a l’air sympathique et absent dommage.
Je ne sais pas puisque je n’y ai jamais été. Je ne pouvais trouver meilleur guide qu’un local en la personne de Ousseynou. Merci de m’avoir signalé sa réponse sur Facebook, je l’ai vu mais je réagirais dans quelques jours, eh oui, il y’a des jours prévus pour chaque réseau, autrement, on ne s’en sort pas, on se disperse.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama travel to Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania from June 27 to July 2. Obama opened a weeklong trip to Africa on Wednesday in Senegal the first stop on his three-country trip to Africa. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/06/27/president-obama-visits-senegal
