The stagiares had a couple days off, which were much needed.
So we hopped into two Alhams and bussed to Popenguine for a night. The beach was absolutely splendid. They say that Senegal is the Paris of West Africa, I agree.
I spent at least 4-6 collective hours in the water. Our beach house was right along the shore; I fell asleep to the sound of waves (and other partiers). We spent all of the next day on the beach taking walks, relaxing, and of course plenty of swimming.
It's the small things like this that keep me emotionally charged and motivated. Senegal is truly a wonderful place. This country is not without faults, but it certainly has its beauty.
Pictures of the beach are here. Prepare to get jealous: http://picasaweb.google.com/thebyronyee/BeachDay2#
