Part X: The Return to Dakar

 after a lovely visit to Lompoul and Saint-Louis, we drove the coast back to Dakar, Senegal

passing countless soccer games

 after passing fishermen near Kayar, Senegal

 and fisherman near Mboro, Senegal

 children on the beach near Yoff welcomed us back into Dakar

and abandoned vehicles marked our entrance into the city

Part IX: A Flamingo, the Ocean, & Endless Beach

we then drove along the beach, finding only this woman for miles and miles

 

and a solitary flamingo walking along the Atlantic Ocean

after the lovely weekend in Saint-Louis, the solitude of Senegal's Grande Côte was perfect

 

and it was easy to forget the chaos of Dakar

Part V: A Drive Along the Grande Côte

 after visiting the Gandiol light house, we drove north along the beach

 following Senegal's gorgeous Grande Côte

passing through the fishing village of Mboro, Senegal

 Mboro

outside of the fishing villages of Kayar and Mboro, there wasn't a soul in sight
