Pedro

On our trip to the small village of Dianten, we met a boy named Pedro. No kidding. Not a typical name for a native of Senegal. He is the only person from this small village any of us had ever heard of, so we decided to find him. We happened upon his house quite by accident. We had spent much of the day walking in the jungle, exploring as we went. We decided at follow an unknown trail that went back in the general direction from which we came. Arriving back at civilization we noticed a group of boys sitting under a tree eating the afternoon meal. We asked if any one knew a boy named Pedro. We were quickly redirected to a man who walked us over to the house of Pedro.

We sat and talked with Pedro and his friends for about 45 minutes, and then Pedro gave us a tour of his village. Pedro eventually walked us out to our car waiting by the road. We were very happy we met. Olé.
