While at market last week Dianna and I found some fabric to have a local African outfit made that we can wear to church. It will have a shirt, a skirt, and a piece of fabric to be tied around the head like a bandanna. We also had some sundresses made for Gracie and Hailey out of the same fabrics to match us. It is really inexpensive to have clothes made here. It cost me 3,000 CFAs for mine and Hailey's outfit which comes out to be around $6. He had out outfits made and ready for us in less than two days!
We ran into some really cute local kids while we were at the tailor shop. The kids seem to really like getting their picture taken. They love having you show their picture back to them on the camera. I really enjoy mingling with the local children. We don't speak the same language but the laughter and smiles seem to be understood regardless.
Stay tuned for a picture of us in our outfits!
