Littlest globe trotters...

Today was a quieter day. After yesterday's rain, the streets are covered in mud so taking a walking tour of Dakar wasn't the least bit appealing. We did go out and about long enough to visit one of the larger markets in Dakar to find Fanta a pair of weatherproof shoes (aka flip flops). In Senegal, it's all about the sharp looking clothing so she arrived with only a pair of leather high healed shoes! Once in hand, we headed back to the house for an afternoon of 'cause'-ing (chatting) and kitten prep.

Yes our babies are on their way back to Canada...seemed a bit much to tour Europe with them in tow :) Guess they're going to be limited to having traveled to 'only' two continents!

Problem #1 - plastic cat carriers/dog crates are hard to come by in Dakar
Problem #2 - BIG plastic cat carriers/dog crates are impossible to come by in Dakar
Problem #3 - it's going take them 46 hours to get to memere's and pepere's!

We were able to buy a carrier from the Air France counter at the airport...but it was going to be a tight squeeze.

Trying to make their living quarters a little more spacious...


The dry run...it just might work...


Looking a little more intense...I think they know somethings up!

The next picture of course would be of me sobbing...but I'll save you the drama. We'll be counting down the hours to JP's parents call letting us know they've made it ok...
