We visited the Reserve De Bandia on January 2, 2009.
We opted to hire and guide and drive our own truck - much cheaper!
Lucas, Alexis and a turtle.
The Baobob trees are HUGE! Yes, this is just ONE tree!
Taking a little break.
A bunch of warthogs.
The giraffes were Allison's favorite.
This mommy and daddy ostrich were not too happy when we stopped our car by their new little family.
An antelope.
An antelope and a monkey.
This was Lucas' favorite part because he was drinking his own water when he noticed this antelope drinking as well.
A group of impalas.
Lucas and a neighbor boy.
Alexis wanted a ride too!
Just playing around!
Moving a broken-down bus because tow trucks don't exist here!
A new kind of windshield.
Every Friday, followers of Islam line the streets on their mats for the appointed prayer times.
Playing at Hann Mariste Park near our house.
Some interesting play equipment.
Lucas and Alexis had an interesting time as most of the other kids spoke Wolof and not French.
The trees around the park are filled with vultures.
Lucas just loves climbing in trees!
We left our Christmas tree up extra long and it finally got cold enough for warmer clothes so we just had to take a picture!
