Bike Ride To Madarounfa

We had the day off of work for a holiday, so Aaron, Lois, Laura, and I decided to go on an adventure! We took our motorcycles and drove about 45 minutes to Lake Madarounfa, where we had a little picnic. It was really fun and a good excuse to get out and do something active.




Aaron is so happy!



Lois provided the food



Aerial shot!



The road was flooded, so we had to cross this "river"
(Yes, we all got wet...)


The river has been crossed!

Meatfest!

So we had a "Meatfest" here in Danja a few weekends ago, and it was so fun! Now by meatfest, I mean some serious meat...

All of us singles and the Hazell family joined forces for a game night and instead of cooking a bunch of food, we just bought tons of meat in Maradi town! They have street corner grills all over town, so we went to our "chicken guy", the "brochette guy", and then some other guys who sold sheep meat (is that called mutton?)! So we bought a huge leg of lamb that even had ribs attached! It was so tasty and we all felt a bit more "savage" than when we started...

Waiting for grilled goodness!



Many chickens died...



And a big sheep too...



Mmmm! So darn good!
