Sofanwet

This last weekend gone by was the big Sofanwet tournament held at Sydaleigh's school, ISO, each year. Both competitive and social softball teams travel from around Burkina and from Niger to gather here in Ouagadougou and play for a trophy and bragging rights.

We spent most of the weekend watching softball, under awnings, trying to stay out of the sun, though even in the shade you can't escape the heat.

It was hot. And fun. With ice cream and sodas. And cheering. And laughing. And despite the fact that Isaak's social team never made it to the finals, we still had fun.
