This morning we went out to buy breakfast by the road. We got shell-looking things called farrow. It is some bean dough that they put in leaves and steam it. Back in Ouaga everyone spoke a language called moray. We got to know it a little bit but here everyone speaks a different language: djoula.
The other day, Uncle Paul offered to take us on a moto ride. So the boys went first, then I went. We went on an airplane runway that is only used about once a year. We must of went 150 km/hour!
Last night we went to our friend Paulin`s family`s house. Paulin lives in Ouaga, so he wasn`t there. Two of his sisters sleep in the house next to our guesthouse because our neighbors are on a trip. Pauline (Paulin`s twin sister) and Eve, Paulin`s sisters, invited us for lunch. We went early so we could help make the to. To (pronounced as toe) is a traditional food made from corn flour. It is a very tasteless food but with a sauce, very good. In this picture, we are taking off leaves from their stems for the sauce. The leaves are called ``dah.``

Hi Warkentins!
Your bike ride sounds very fast Danika!! Did you get any bugs in your teeth?
We've read through all your adventures tonight as a family. We are very intrigued by the different foods. Chuck thinks he'll tell his cousin that runs Tim Horton's here in Pincher Creek to try making some fish doughnuts - they could be a big hit!
We liked the pictures from the zoo. We don't have to go all the way to Africa to see some of those same animals, though - we have three baboons in our living room right now. Maybe we should get a cage for them.
That's so nice that you've been able to visit with so many of your good friends over there. We are glad that you've been safe. We look forward to reading about more of your experiences over there.
Love from,
The Nelson Family
