Hotel Espadon de Saly Mbour

Et oui, finalement j'ai roulé en charrette tirée par un âne et il ne me reste plus que le vélo et le train. Ce jour là j'ai marché pendant des heures tout en contemplant des beaux coins pour passer la nuit et bien sûr ils abondent. Mais ce ne sera pas cette nuit là, car au bout de quelques heures de marche, la première voiture de luxe à des forts taux de pollution c'est arrêté, 150m après m'avoir dépassée. Grande ...

... fazer para que certas cenas peguem melhor e sem problema e deram-me umas sementes para plantar em Angola. Estou ja com vontade de experimentar isso. Na véspera da minha partida o Pape e o Ali vieram pedir-me que ficasse mais uma semana. Partiu-me o coração dizer que não, mas eles iam estar a semana inteira fora a trabalhar em Mbour e eu ia estar ali ja sem fazer nada. O caminho ainda é longo manos. Dia seguinte o Samba despede-se de manhã, fazendo deslizar 5000 na minha mão. 'Tamos juntos.

... carros pararam sucessivamente e os dois diss**am s** taxis. Em Mbour não se destinguem facilmente. O t**ceiro aceitou levar-me gratis porque estava a voltar para casa a 2 km. Mais a frente s**ia apanhado pelo Samba, um jovem que se safou muito bem e que agora passa a vida a agradec** com a sua conducta diaria, à qual devo estar grato por me t** apanhado e por 10 minutos depois me t** convidado a levar à barraca dele na aldeia de Thiadiyae.

... I did not have definite preconceptions. I continue to be baffled by the juxtaposition and the priorities of the projects. We were stuck in traffic out of Dakar and the trip to Thies took over three hours. A great marabout (the khalif) had died and many were traveling to Touba to pay their respects. When we stopped for gas, the bus was surrounded by women and girls selling tangerines. They actually reached into the bus through the open windows. I was torn between pity for ...

... kayak exploration through the mangroves. The sunset was out of this world with four different views happening at once because at one end there was the sunset on the other the lightning storm in the distance and between them the skies were mixed hues, it kind of looked like the four seasons...and Vivaldi should have been playing while me and Jamie swam/floated in the salty waters of the mangroves while our two other mates personed the kayaks. The water was warm ...

Recently, a friend of mine sent an e-mail and asked if I was beginning to get into the holiday spirit as Christmas is right around the corner. I'm sure he expected me to say that I wasn't feeling very Christmas-y, being in a predominantly Muslim country, but interestingly enough, Senegal has done an acceptable job of preparing me for the Christmas season.

... Mama and I spent almost the whole day together today, as well, as we went to her hometown to visit her family and attend the baptism of a family friend's newborn. I didn't get to see much of her family nor did I see a newborn, but I sure did meet a lot of women who made me feel like I was wearing rags. The boubous that the Senegalese women wear to baptism ceremonies are the most exquisite pieces of clothing I have ever seen in my life ...

Today for example, I learned the verb that means 'to say something about someone else when they are not present' (wa ade). There is also a verb for 'to pick something out of the garden with your hands'. I havent learned it yet but there is also a verb for thinking of something while you ...
