I enjoy looking at Senegalese women’s fashions at these fetes (haute couture!)

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!
Linda
