Salisbury

My family and I lived in a town called Salisbury from when I was a baby to when I was four years old. Some of our friends live there. They are the boy that I rode 4 miles with, (In Bike Riding) his sister and parents. We visited them a few months ago. I wrote about the visit in Glad to be Back. There is a big mountain next to their house that we climbed. There is also another mountain a bit further away that we had a picnic on every Saturday when we lived there. There were also snakes, and farmers grew pomegranates, peanuts and millet. The Three tribes that live in Salisbury are the Moors, Fulani and Soninke. The tribe that lived in our neighborhood was the Fulani. The pictures below were taken in Salisbury.

  1. Oh Yan... I love this post!! I love it because I have been there and I can imagine everything you have written. I was in Salisbury with Grampie, Uncle Jacob, and Aunt Abigail when Lily was 2 years old. We climbed one of those mountains and took pictures there. It must be so hard to ride bikes in the sand. I have never done that. Pomegranates are very expensive in the United States of America. I think one pomegranate in Virginia costs about $2.00. Thanks for your posts. I really enjoy them! Love, Grandma

No school!

My sisters and I are home schooled, and the last week we didn't have to do school, doing fun activities instead, such as volleyball, egg and spoon race, and a game in which there are two teams who take turns carrying as much water as they can from one bowl to another in cups on their heads, spilling as least water as they can. The team with the most water in the 2nd bowl at the end of the game wins!
