My Saturday consisted of team building at this lovely go-karting facility in the parking lot of the big stadium in Ouaga (Stade de 4 Août). I am waiting for more pictures from fellow-intern-Julia, but I will swallow my pride and share that we had an MCC team wide competition for completing the most laps in 20 minutes and the only people I beat were my boss's children. Cautious driving, FTW. After my elimination from the contest, I took over timing duties, which were much better suited to my skill set.
Saturday night I went to dinner at one of the nicer restaurants in Ouaga; I had a delicious rabbit dish. However, my enjoyment soured rather quickly when I returned home. I am taking care of the rabbits that live at the house I am staying in while its residents are on vacation in the States, and when I walked past the cage, I was assaulted by their beady, judging eyes.
I am traveling more this week and looking forward to doing touristy things in Banfora this weekend.
I also was speaking to a consultant in French today, who remarked "Oh your French doesn't sound too American." Native French speakers have mastered the backhanded compliment.
