| Our amazing dinner at Ziggy's, a buvette on the Niger river. The sunset, the water, the peas with REAL BUTTER... fantastic evening. |
 |
| Bevin kept doing cool poses, like eating, in front of the sunset. I now have 800 pictures of her silhouette. |
 |
| As we left Niamey, we went on a giraffe safari. This is when our bus got stuck in loose sand (because there are no roads in the wildlife reserve), and we had to get out. About 8 boys/men magically appeared out of nowhere and pushed the van to less loose sand. |
 |
| Just when we thought we weren't going to get to see giraffes, Bevin spotted this one on the horizon. We drove over and snapped a bajillion pictures before it ran away... by the way, giraffes run incredibly slowly sometimes. Like in slow mo. |
 |
| Our happy "we saw giraffes!" faces. L to R: Rosa, Bridget, Dione, and Bevin. |
 |
| I swear there is a giraffe in the background somewhere. |
 |
| After leaving the first giraffe, we found a group of 3 others. This one galloped in front of our van as we were driving out of the park. |
 |
| Right as were were about to leave Niamey on an early-morning bus, I saw this zem driver (to the left) wearing a Buckeyes championship sweatshirt. He wasn't feeling pretty enough for a picture, so he made this other guy pose with me. Hah! |
 |
| After Niamey and Malanville, we visited Jenny's village in Sori. This is her with the kids in her concession -- isn't that little girl cute?? |
 |
| Maybe my favorite picture of Jenny ever. That girl is SO cute! |
 |
| I let them braid my hair... subsequently spent a year wrestling with my hairbrush and a bottle of conditioner. :) |
