The Kolda car heading up to Dakar! This is about 7 hours into the trip.
Did I mention that our team was Space Corps? Think space suits, Star Wars characters, Avitars, and squirt-guns.
- We had some pretty stiff competition: Gambian zombies that began each game with the Thriller dance…
... a team from Dakar that donned wax fabric lederhosen...
... and a team from Kaolack made entirely of ballerinas (yes, this is me in my space suit)...
... but thankfully our stellar batting strategies intimidated the competition.
We even beat the team dressed like cows and cowboys.
Team Kolda Space Corps won TWO games! We made history!! (We never really win... any... games.)

I got to stay in a homestay with three of my closest friends in country: April, Steph and Jessie!
Evening activities included a talent show (here Vivienne and Chris imitate other PCVs' dance moves)
And a huge dance party where we rent out a club on the beach.
Coolest part - my friend Maya and I DJed the party! She's from Kolda as well, so our DJ name is DJ Ice Kolda... AMAZING, right?
I'm a DJ! Go DJ, that's my DJ
The people were pleased with the tunes
As happened last year...
... we were all dead by day 3.
But it was worth it! Until next year...
