Danika- Nov. 26

Today Uncle Joel, Aunt Andy, Kathe and Micah took the day off school. I had slept over at their house last night and we picked up my family at our guesthouse. We went to a bakery and got fancy croissant pastries that you can get with chocolate, pudding and raisins in it or an ordinary croissant. We went to the market and got more slingshots and some fruit. We went to the tailor to pick up my skirt and drop off another piece of material for some more clothes. We went to Mimi and her mom, Alima's, house. We had known them before we came back to Canada but while we were still in Burkina, later on in the year 2010, Alima had been very sick. We were in Orodara at the time and she had to wait four days until we finally arrived in Ouagadougou. We helped her afford to go to the hospital and she realized that she and Mimi should go back to their family in Mali. So when we came, Mimi got permission to take 5 days off school. They got on a 19 hour bus ride to get to Burkina and arrived at 7:00 am this morning.
We went to the creperie for lunch. You order a crepe (crape) with whatever you want in it. I got tomato, cheese, onion with vanilla ice cream for dessert. I went back to Kathe's house because our friend Jessica was coming. We played tag, red light green light, we drew and then my mom picked me up and we went to the Hayslip's for supper. We played hide and go seek tag. See you!

What a fantastic few days you've had, Danika. I'm so glad that you're getting to spend a bunch of time with your cousins. Are you looking forward to returning to Pincher Creek or do you wish you could stay in Burkina longer?
