| Our taxi broke down (again) on the way to Malanville... Dione was obviously displeased. |
 |
| Rosa and Bevin are Christmas reindeer! This is at Matt's in Malanville. |
 |
| Matt, Dione, Michelle and Sam on Christmas morning -- we did a Secret Santa gift exchange! And that is Matt's fancy schmancy hookah. |
 |
| Bevin was my Secret Santa! She made me a banner of handmade origami cranes and flowers. So pretty! |
 |
| This is how I spent Christmas afternoon: in a pool. We ate a ridiculously awesome meal (steak and real green beans!) then borrowed the hotel's pool for a couple of hours. Left to right: Dione, Matt, Bevin (jumping) and Michelle. |
 |
| Man at the Benin/Niger border. |
 |
| Another man on the Benin/Niger border, which is surprisingly pretty. |
 |
| Zemming to the Benin/Niger border. |
 |
| Nigerien villages are tiny. My village is little, but at least we have cement. |
 |
| Dione, Sam and Rosa on our first night in Niamey, Niger. We got fancy meals and drank actually delicious Biere Niger (which sort of rhymes!), and toasted to an amazing adventure. |
 |
| This camel was right outside our hotel. The guy wanted a lot of money from us for a close-up... but I thought this picture would suffice. |
 |
| I bought a beautiful hand-dyed batik as a souvenir. : ) |
