Familie Kieviet in Senegal

Our journey to the far south of Senegal was a true adventure for Maria and Simon. Highlight of the 15 hour boat trip was enjoying the jumping and tumbling dolphins that accompanied the boat. The region is very green and fertile with lots of fruit trees. The kids soon found out that mango trees make very good climbing trees 🙂 In the vegetable garden at the church we pick oranges and grapefruits the size of a soccer ball. Gigantic spiders scare you at night when going to the unlit toilet, but are a good study object in a glass jar. And when the campfire is lit and songs are sung, it is very hard to go to bed…
