nye in saint-louis

Rung in the new year in the lovely city of Saint Louis. Beautiful city, the former French capital, full of old, colorful colonial buildings. We had a great time out on the town, though we missed new years, or maybe celebrated too early? Turns out Peace Corps volunteers can't synchronize their watches. Inadvertently had an extended vacation due to a country-wide transportation strike. Even the taxis wouldn't take us! They just sailed right on past, wagging their fingers at us. Annoying at the time, but being stuck in a popular tourist destination with good restaurants, the beach and pelicans isn't the worst thing that can happen!

Happy New Years!
