Casamance - Spring Break



Well, that brings me up-to-date. Yeah!

Last week was my Spring Break. I traveled down to the Casamance region (it is the southern part of Senegal, below the Gambia). I went with two of my Bungalow neighbors - Emily and Rachel.

Here are a few differences I noticed between the Casamance region and Dakar:
  • It is cheaper
  • The people are friendlier and less pushy with selling
  • More greenery around
  • It has a "small town feel"
The next posts will focus on my trip there. This picture is right before we caught the ferry to Casamance. A group of us grabbed some beers after school on the Friday.
