More Dakar pictures

these pictures and the ones in the previous post are in order within each post...but not in order overall. Naima let me upload pictures from her camera, and i don't want to go through the hassel of putting them all in order...it's too comfusing. but enjoy them anyways!



me, amy (also Benin PCV), and danielle (Togo PCV) at a little bar.







banner for the swear-in ceremony for stagaires of PC Senegal.







me by the pool...a pool! drinking "bissap" juice. it's a drink made from hibiscus flowers. it's delicious.









Naima in front of the Ambassador's house. it was enormous and beautiful. inside and out.
















in front of the pool area of the fancy hotel. we came across the hotel on our walk back to the Bureau.







at the beach front thing at the fancy hotel.



moi in front of the Presidential Palace. and for the record, one is not allowed inside, lol.











humongous Baobab tree. seriously.


















seriously!



















resting, with a view. two seconds later i got up to take Naima's pic and fell on my face. i don't know what it is about this continent, but i am always falling down. good thing i think it's funny when i do, otherwise we might have some issues.







Goree (there's an accent on the 1st e) Island.










me in the beach there. i really wish i had brought my swimsuit!











looking back on the beach (from the picture above!)








almost to the top of the mountain...we stopped to soak in the beauty.




on top of the island. posing for a Glamour Shot!














that building thing on the FAR left is, we think, someone's summer vacation house. how cool. i wouldn't mind living here. in fact, i found a spot around here where i can pitch up a tent like the rasta men have done.












caught!...looking down at the beautiful ocean and scenery.
















this is my hiker pose.














this is Casino. the amazing grocery store where you can buy all sorts of goodies. there is nothing else like it here that i have experienced. so much goodness.
