2006 Senegal Vacation
Bonjour,
I arrived safely in Dakar after a layover in Paris on Thursday. It is Monday morning and I have gotten into the slower pace of the Senegalese. I am completely “de-stressed” after removing my watch and taking long naps!
We’re travelling to Le Petit Cote tomorrow and back to Dakar on Thursday for a baptism.
Saturday night’s concert at the Daniel Soreno Theatre was awesome. It is called the “Oscars” for all genres of choral groups: Christian, Muslim, traditional, military, etc.
The FOIRE is here. It is a weeklong commercial exposition of items (art, fabric, fashions, furniture, appliances, etc.) from many countries. Hopefully, I can get there one day this week.
(will post pictures later)
Bonne journee!
Linda

Hi Linda! You did it again! Seems like you went right after the heat wave everyone has been telling me about on the phone! Hope you had plenty of rest and fun with Jacques and his family. They are good people. nrHappy holidays and Meilleurs Voeux for 2007. Codou PS. I really like your site/blog.nr
Interestingly, no one mentioned any heatwave. The weather during my stay, was absolutely beautiful…in the 70s. Codou, you would not believe the construction going on in Dakar and surrounding areas. I hope all’s well in Switzerland. You must be pretty busy these days.
HI Lala,nr nr It has been a long while since we last spoke. I have been visiting a few african restaurants in the area and I was trying to find out if the senegambi restaurant is still open in DC. Do you know anything about it?nrnr How are things for you? Have you travelled to senegal lately.
Hi Toure,
It’s been awhile. If you’re interested, I know a DC couple that’s conducting a tour to Senegal in August, next month. I will be probably be going over in October. Also, I’ve eaten at a Senegalese restaurant in Silver Spring. Can’t remember where exactly but email me directly and I’ll try to get the address for you.
Peace,
Lala
