More of Tidiane's Relatives

Tidiane really wanted us to meet all of his relatives! We did not have the time to eat at his second sister's house, but we went by to meet her one day.
The first pictures show his sister and her children.


This is Tidiane, his sister and her children. She would not come in to the room where we were until she had put on her scarf.


This is Tidiane's sister's house. It is the blue one on the right.


Tidiane also wanted us to go to meet his aunt. First is a photo of her, her granddaughter, and Tidiane.


This is inside her house.




The house was built as a single family dwelling. This is rare in the city of Dakar. It is a completely round house with a single ceiling ventilation hole. This hole stays open all the time. There was only one window and one door in this half of the house. We did not see the bedroom areas.
