Aahhh

Well, here it is, our years of planning, fundraising, months of work and hundreds of miles of biking are complete! Today is our last day in Kedougou. It is hard to leave this place that has become a second home. Today we are saying goodbye to friends and packing up, making final arrangements. Tomorrow morning we get up at 3 AM to catch the bus from Kedougou to Tambacounda, where we will then negotiate places on a station wagon, called a "set place". These cars are usually old wagons from europe that run like old lawn-mowers. It should take about 12 hours to get to dakar. It will be a long day to be sure.

Andy and I are exhausted and missing our homes, friends, families, food... etc. The next few days we'll be in dakar "on vacation" trying to spend as little money as possible.

thanks to all, our journey here was only possible because of the amazing support we received.
