We went to see the Senegal President's house. As you can tell, it is a very large building with well-maintained grounds.
The following photos show one of the government buildings around the President's house. Notice the air conditioners in the pictures.
This is a French guard standing in front of one of the French buildings, maybe the French embassy. Senegal was part of France until 1960, and France still has a great presence in Senegal. The French maintain some military here.
We had only walked about 15 minutes from the government area till we got to this coast.
Here is a man mending his fishing nets.
More scenes around the same area---lots of contrasts!
In the midst of the beautiful surroundings on the coastline, there is a shack home nestled on the hillside that is so pitifully poor. Dirty and patched, the house stays open to the animals.

Such contrasts! I don't think I would like shopping with people shouting for me to buy something. I have trouble deciding on a purchase when it there is quiet music playing.
