Senegal- Saly


We arrived safe in Saly!
Our connection is so low it's quite impossible to post pictures, plus there are frequentpower cuts.
But basically everything is fine!
Here it's so hot almost 40 degree's C, the sea is warm as a bath around 30 - 35C!
We are the only white peoples as the tourist season has not yet begun, the house is in the middle of the African's village, is a shanty town. We are in one of only 3 houses in the village were white people live. All the other whites live in the French village behind high walls and security guards and gates. When we meet other white people they ask were we are staying many don't believe us when we tell them we live in the locals village.
The village is really poor but amazing to see! the french village is rich and beautiful but completly empty now.
In only one day we saw a million things amazing and incredible!!
The black peoples are really nice but are asking for money all the time! But even though they are so poor they are very kind and share the little things they have with each other and us.They share there mint tea and local coffee with pepper and spices called touba. There is only one cup between all of us so we take sips and pass it around.
We will post pictures as soon as we can
