I am back in Mauritania!
My contract was due to end last summer. In fact, it DID end. I threw myself an enormous goodbye party, hired a dj, and danced with all my best friends until 2:00 am. I visited all my friends in the villages and said tearful goodbyes. I gave away everything I owned and packed my most sentimental belongings in two suitcases.
I left Nouakchott on July 24, arrived in Minnesota on July 25, went to sleep and woke up July 26, with a job offer to return to the same position. I spent three months at home with my family and then came back.
This country has a hold on me!
