The Job





A few weeks back, we took the wee ones on a field trip to the lighthouse and statue. It was a lovely day for some walking...up the hill to the lighthouse, inside for a tour, and then back down. Then, up the never ending stairs to the statue, around the base, and then back down. Bon exercice!

Pirouge Excursion



Also before heading back, we took a day for a pirouge excursion to
explore the mangroves and wildlife around the Casamance River. At one point, we got out and explored a village on the northern bank of the river.

Batik Man




I forgot to mention...when we were in Zinguinchor, we visited a man that makes batiks. They were the best I've ever seen. Apparently, he is quite well known around Senegal.

Ziguinchor




Our last stop was Zinguinchor for 2 nights. It was a bit of a smelly, port town - not much to it, but that is where we caught the boat back to Dakar.
