Part I: Leaving Dakar

 heading out of Dakar and chilling, Senegalese style

car rapide heading toward Rufisque

we drove toward Lac Rose, luckily not on the outside of a car rapide

 where we paused long enough to take in the fabled source of Lac Rose

 then we drove north and passed this tucked away mosque in the middle of nowhere

until we embarked on this path into the dunes....
