Masks

A mask shop in Somone. I tried forever to get one of the photos loaded the correct way, but it just wouldn't work!

Lovely La Somone

Jenn, Carly, and I took a night away in one of my favorite places - Somone. We lounged around on the beach, did some mask shopping, explored, and dined at one of the best restaurants around Dakar...a little French one that is some of the best food put on Earth.

Beach Party - Senegalese Style

Before Hillary left, Aliou and her hosted a beach party for friends and family. Fish was grilled and a bonfire made...before we knew it, a bunch of Aliou's friends/family were drumming with sticks on plastic containers.

Carly's Visit - N'gor Island

My friend Carly, from my time in Aberdeen, was able to come for a visit. Right now, she's working/living in Germany, so she came from that part of the world for her first visit to Africa! Of course we had a great time - visiting N'gor island, exploring the city, beaching it up in Somone, bargaining for gifts to take back, and relaxing and catching up. She's a stand up comic, so the laughs were plentiful.

The next few posts will be pictures she took while visiting here.
