Street Scenes

The first impression of Dakar is that it is not a vacation spot---but it is a place full of people that need the Good News---and we are happy to be here!
Some thoughts are: "Where is the green?" "Everything is a shade of brown--except for the women's beautiful, colorful African dresses." "No one looks like me." "There is a sea of faces." "How can there be so many tiny shops?"

Here are pictures of some of the street scenes on the way from our apartment to the church building.





The next photo is of the main street that we travel every day to the church building. In this one you can see that there really are trees in Dakar! Notice one of the "round abouts". These can get quite interesting during heavy traffic times---with all the taxis, buses, cars, horse carts, motorcycles, and people crossing on foot----all at the same time!
