Shelly's House in N'Gor Village














We ended up giving our colleague Shelly a ride home today. Shelly is a unique wonderful soul who loves to dance. She has met the Dalai Lama, lived in a Tee pee for ten years (in Vermont!), and is a mother and wife. Her husband is from Guinea as is her beautiful young son, both love to fish. Shelly has traded in the expat luxurious and sometime mundane lifestyle for the vibrant and friendly African village of N'Gor. Shelby, Gina, Gabbie and I were lucky enough to get invited into Shelly's home and neighborhood. We got to see baby goats, watch fisherman bring in fish, play a little soccer, and watch young boys get chased by a goose.

I love the photo of the kid with the fish. He looks so excited, just like you get with a nice fish.
