New Year's Eve

Here are some photos of New Year's Eve! A bunch of Peace Corps went dancing, and we met up with my neighbor Halimatou and her friends, and even though the DJ was terrible it was really fun.

White Elephant Wallet

Since I'm catching up on photo uploads, this is the wallet that I got from Michelle at our Kankan Christmas White Elephant gift exchange. 

It wasn't a real White Elephant - there was no stealing and swapping of gifts - because no one wanted to take gifts away from people who seemed really happy with what they chose, like I was with this wallet. Michelle had it made by one of the local artisans, and it has that little map of Guinea. So cool!
