Potato Festival


Volunteers in Mali-ville for the potato festival

A big group of volunteers travelled north to Mali-ville for the annual potato festival. Though I didn't see any potatoes, we had a good time. The opening ceremony for potato season was held at the highest point in the Fouta, Mt. Loura. One of the volunteers fell and cut open her knee on the hike up, so a few us us went back down to town to treat it. Luckily, we got to go up to Mt. Loura the next morning and the clouds had cleared for a beautiful view!
