Fishing

With Dakar being surrounded on three sides by ocean, fishing is a natural industry. But the fishing that we have seen is all being done from very small and not-so-nice boats. Our reader Tidiane took the four of us to a fishing area. Following are pictures of that area.

The men in the next photo are coming into shore with their catch.

Does this look like a nice beach?

Just like children everywhere, these children are enjoying playing at the beach.

The rope swing in the following photo is attached to one of the boats.

Don't you love the smile with the missing teeth!

In the next photo the man is washing his goat.

Boats provide shade for goats and for men!

Following is a video of beach sounds, people playing in the water, and the horse cart from above almost running over Ron as he was taking the video! Some of the people that you will see in the video are French.
