To Cap Skirring







Straight off the boat from Zinguinchor, we hopped a taxi to Cap Skirring. Ever since I arrived in Senegal, I'd heard a lot of good things about Cap Skirring (C.S.). It didn't disappoint. The night life was fun, and we stayed in a beautiful hotel to the north of the actual town of C.S.

Christians, Pigs, and Chickens





Down south, the religion is different...mainly Christians.

Therefore, the diet is different...they eat pork.

Also, there seemed to be a lot of chickens around.

Looking at the Map



First map - quite a simple one of Senegal in order to locate the Casamance area.

Second map - pay attention to where Ziguinchor, Cap Skirring, and Carabane are (Carabane is actually an island, but you can't tell from this map).
