| looking at you from Ivory Coast |
Ex-Pat Burkinabe ... we are with the
girls at the kiosk (mini diner) where we
have been frequenting during our stay
here on the coast of Ivory Coast. Their
ethnicity is Mossi which is the majority
ethnic group in Burkina Faso.
Yesterday was the Tuareg and his
story ... today we have the story of the
ex-pat Burkinabe in the picture. The father
and mother moved to Ivory Coast in
1993 and the girls are all sisters and were
born here. But they can all speak Moore, their
mother tongue.
We started going there from the first moment
we arrived and it took a little time to break the
ice and be more than just tourists clients.
Like I mentioned in yesterday's blog one of
the skills us Peace Corps volunteers acquire
is an openess to other peoples. So with my
other three colleagues not being a weak link
we endeared ourselves to them. More or less
that is.
It's only like 10:30 in the morning and we are
just sitting at the beach in contemplative
silence. Watching the waves go in and out
is hypnotic.
is hypnotic.
Yeah, another day with our feet on the brakes
in our little roller coaster ride of life.
