Senegal 2007/2008

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Arrived in Dakar November 22st, after our fllght was delayed 4 hours. However, I quickly forgot the inconvenience when I was surprisingly seated in BUSINESS CLASS. What fantastic service.

The year ends in Senegal with a bang. Six days of weddings, Tabaski, and Christmas holidays. It has been absolutely wonderful. December and January seem to be the wedding months here, like May and June in the states.

First Christmas holiday in Dakar. There’s singing, ambiance and good food.

2006 Senegal Vacation

Monday, December 4th, 2006

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!
