Arrived in Senegal

so this morning around 5:30 local time, I took my first steps in Africa! Senegal is cool thus far, there's still a lot to do and get out to see, still just on the Peace Corps training compound, more info and fun news and updates to come soon, just wanted to say hi for now! here's a few photos of the bus ride from Dakar to Thies (pronounced Cha-es as one syllable) there were over 20 of us in each van (42 in total), the group at the PC training compoundand the building where my dorm is for the next few days
