More photos! (words to come soon!)

This weekend we took a trip to Saint Louis in the North part of Senegal.  It was very beautiful and I'll tell you all about it soon!  Here is Sarah, Hannah, and Rosa in front of the bridge

A "pirogue" (fishing boat)

Hannah standing on the balcony looking over the courtyard of our wonderful hotel!

The Mosque on the island of Saint Louis.  According to our tour guide, it's the only Mosque that uses a clock and bell to call for prayer rather than the typical praying through a speaker.

We took a very "toubab-y" tour of the island via horse drawn carriages.
 
We were told that this was an area of Saint Louis with lots of polygamy (and therefore lots of children running around).  The guide said that each antenna was for a TV so that the "other" wives could be occupied and not get jealous.

Hundreds of ducks in flight

Pelicans

All of those little black specks are pelicans! Tons of pelicans.  They are hunted by jackals

A little crocodile

Here is my blurry attempt at capturing Gamou on my camera. This was during the midnight meal time.
