Since it is the dry season in Senegal right now, the weather this week was very hot. During the day between 2-4pm is the hotest time and can get as hot as 100 degrees! This is usually the time when people will "take tea," which means sitting in the shade and having a snack with friends. In the evenings, it cools down quite a bit and will be around 65-70 degrees. Although this sounds hot, it feels cold in comparison to the hot afternoons.
This week, I got to see a lot of cows, sheep, and goats. Since it is the dry season and not much is growing to feed the livestock, farmers will let their animals walk around to find their own food. There is a small group of sheep that I walk by everyday who love to eat the flowers that grow in people's gardens.
I also saw a lot of birds this week. I'm not sure they type of bird they are because they don't land for very long, but they fly arond in large groups.
