People don’t know what to ask because most have not had the privilege of your experience.  People don’t mean to sound not specific but they don’t know how to be specific.  I wish I could talk to u every night and hear all about your day.  You will never know how interested I am. I wish I had the chance to know people who are different.  But for you to be thrown into a situation where you are the one who is different and must learn so much has to very stressful.  I hope you take notes or outlines because you will forget all the little things that make up your day.  I do wish I hear every little bit I am so interested.  Hows the language going. Do you personaly speak Spanish or French? I know there is some French there and you are learning Woloof is that correct.  Is it real hard? I was terrible at languages.  I love the photo of you in that pretty green outfit.  Are you working on the farms? I love you to bits . Grandpa and I had such a wonderful time with you when we went to dinner I hope I can capture a day of you life when you return.  Keep notes on funny things that happen scarey things . Hope your host family is still geat to you.  Love hugs and millions of kisses your favorite Grams!!!!
