What To Do When The Power Goes Out

With all of the happenings around Dakar, and Senegal as a whole, it surprised no one in my family when the power went out around 9 last night.

All of these things were actually done by my family last night, in no particular order:

-Candlelight dinner (more of a necessity than anything else)
-Jokes (the power went out right when my mom came home. I told her it was her fault and she laughed really hard)
-Mock one another's dance moves
-Discuss how old the president is (impressions not required, but strongly encouraged)
-Make attaya. In the dark.
-Julli (pray)
-Read the Senegalese version of People/US Weekly
-Listen to the radio for news
-Laugh quietly at Mamy snoring on the floor
-Stare up at the stars.
