Here is a picture of Il de Goree - which has been a slave trading centre, military fort and general trading centre.
This is a picture of the La Maison des Esclaves and the door of no return for slaves destined for the Americas. This was built by the Dutch in 1786 and now stands as a reminder of the horrors of the slave trade.
This picture gives you a sense of Dakar as a city - big, overcrowded and dirty.
This lady is a beneficiary of the microfinance provided through Kiva and SEM. The money she and her group borrowed bought more fish drying tables. They can now buy more fresh fish, dry it and take it to the market to sell. She was very happy to get in our picture...she just wanted a copy!
On our adventure through the mangrove near Palmarin, we stopped for an oyster roast. Our 2 French friends (Guillaume and Christelle) who live in Morocco are also in the picture.
Here is a picture of our treehouse room at Niassam.
