Danika- Nov. 27

This morning we had oatmeal and mangoes for breakfast and went into town to a place called Artisan House. In french it is Maison d'Artisan. We bought a bunch of souvenirs like key-chains, bracelets and horn carvings. We headed out to Mimi's house again to find 4 of her old school friends visiting her. She said there were at least 20 others but they had all gone home. They didn't have school today because the elections for mayor are going to happen in the next few days so the government gave the students a couple of days off.
 
Alima had made bouille for us. Bouille is a breakfast Africans often have, made with millet. Mimi's friends went home and we visited with her and her mom and then went to Alison and Alan Dixon's house for lunch. They live in a bigger apartment in SIM, too. We waited outside for the Van Dingenen's to come pick us up. The dad, Peter (a missionary doctor) picked us up in his ambulance and we hopped in the back with Erinn and Alicia Watts, Jiska, Phebe and Lisabet Van Dingenen and Kathe Warkentin. We went to their house and went to the Chinese restaurant for supper with the other Warkentins.
