the weekend


On Saturday, we participated in a 5 mi walk/fundraiser for Malaria Prevention. It was a gorgeous morning and lots of people showed up to walk off the Thanksgiving turkey. The route took us from the Embassy, up the Corniche along the ocean, ending at Ebbett's Field.


On the route we passed the fish market with the beautiful bateaus. Each bateau is painted to identify ownership and each is a work of art.



We also took the opportunity to travel to Bandia, an animal reserve south of Dakar. While there we had the opportunity to see a small sampling of the animals that roam the more than 30,000 acres of the reserve. We'll be sure to return to Bandia to see all that it has to offer.
