WAISTing away...

Peace Corps Mauritania had a few hold ups on the drive down (see above pic) but we made it to Dakar, Senegal in time to win a softball tournament for like, the 20th year in a row. This get away weekend was sprinkled with parties and pool time, but the highlight was definitely the homestay.
Each year, Peace Corps provides volunteers with homes of Americans in which to stay the few days. My host works for the embassy, and was pretty much awesome. He fed us cereal in the morning, and home made ice cream at night. I slept on a mattress and woke up to the smell of fresh bread. It was like a mini-America over looking the ocean.

I want to mention again that we were the champions of the tournament. (Todd, I hope you're reading this and recalling how much we dominated over the silly Gambian teams.) Despite standing in the outfield with beers in our hands, despite innings in which no one wore pants, Mauritania rocked the WAIST (West Africa Invitational Softball Tournament) world.
