I went in to work (our bead business) a couple of hours ago where I found my daughters selecting strands of gemstone beads to buy for our retail store. The seller was a handsome African man who I hadn't seen before. I asked him what country he was from and he told me Gambia, which is a slender West African country surrounded, except on the coast, by Senegal. So of course* I asked him, in Wolof, if he spoke Wolof. First he looked in shocked surprise at my daughters and then replied in Wolof that he did. We proceeded to exchange greetings in Wolof after which he said, in English, "In Portland, Maine. I can't believe it. You've made my day!" *Only 'of course' because I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal 50+ years ago and we had excellent Wolof teachers. What a fun surprise!
