Mini-Croisiere A Saly

Hello, sorry for the delay! I spent this weekend with another volunteer who is closer to Dakar & works in a local hospital/clinic in a suburb of Dakar. On Saturday we took a Mini/Day Cruise to the town of Saly, a real tourist hotspot with beautiful beaches ( I would definately vacation there) and we ate lunch at a restaurant there and relaxed on the beach for the day. It was about a two and a half hour boat ride to and from Dakar/Saly but the trip was amazing and I enjoyed spending time with the American girl and she even lent me some English language books which I have been dying for! I am going to post lots of pictures but here are the first of many:

A picture of the beach in Saly. Many resorts & very clean and beautiful.

A floating staircase! It's what we used to get from the big boat to the little boat we took to shore. Very funny & slightly dangerous.

Mini donuts, covered with coconut sprinkles. We didn't get to eat breakfast at home so I bought these on the mini-cruise boat to eat. Pretty delicious but I think Dunkin Donuts is still safe.

The port, while we were waiting for our boat to leave from Dakar. Possibly if you zoom very close, you will notice as I did, a boat named Desire all the way from an island in NORTH CAROLINA! I am pretty much euphoric any time I see ANYTHING having to do with the States, nonetheless a boat :)
