So Tabaski is just around the corner folks and Senegal has gone mad. Today on my way into town I caught a sept place, which is a statino wagon and there was a sheep crammed in the back. There are sheep in cars, on top of cars, being herded alongside the road and most recently tied up outside of my bedroom. Went with my host mom last week to what I call a sheep patch, its pretty much like a pumpkin patch, but with sheep instead of pumpkins. Theyve sprung up everywhere because every muslim family that can afford to will buy a sheep to sacrifice for Tabaski in commemoration of Abraham and Isaac on the mountain. Our sheep is really cute but I cant look it in the eye knowing that I will be eating it in two days time. Everyone thinks Im insane. Maybe I am...
My Tabaski outfit is ready and it is yellow and, well, I cant quite describe it so I will try to post pictures one of these days when I get a camera again. Other than that not so much news. Just killing time until Tabaski and then getting the heck out of dodge and taking a vacation up north.
