Ladies' Night!

(Rebecca, Joanna, Me, Molly)

I enjoyed a lovely (and much needed!) night out with some of my nearest and dearest on Saturday evening. These ladies, there are no words to adequately convey how beloved they are to me. Truly. They are a gift and I am so overwhelmingly blessed by their friendship. 

This night we were celebrating Joanna and sending her off in Ouaga style as she prepared to depart for the mother land on Monday for the next four months. I had heard of a new restaurant that recently opened that had a rumored nautical theme, and so we went there for dinner and were not disappointed! 

This place was great! They constructed a giant ship in the middle of the room and a lighthouse off to our right, fashioned after the Saint-Mathieu lighthouse in France. There is a river running through it and a water wall off to the far left that we sat next to to pretend we were at the beach. 'Cause this is the closest you're gonna get in Burkina! The food was delicious and creative and not identical to every other menu in town. 

And of course, the company was great. As always with these ladies. =) It was a wonderful night. It always does my heart good to spend time with such dear friends.
