Pictures from Joal-Fadiouth

To accompany my previous post, here are some of my favorite pictures from Joal and Fadiouth.

In the sept places on the way to Joal

The Women's Cultural Center in Joal

Senghor's childhood home

The Baobab in Senghor's backyard that the women sacrificed to daily. Now Jesus' portrait graces the tree.

Horse cart shadows on our ride from Fadiouth into the Baobab forest

Horse carts are a lot easier to drive than cars in this kind of terrain

Approaching the biggest Baobab tree in Senegal

Inside the Baobab with my travel mates

Sunset over the Baobab forest

Full bars of service!

Back in Fadiouth

Sunset over Joal

Fadiouth from the cemetery

The cemetery with the millet storage huts in the background

Baobabs everywhere, even in the cemetery made of seashells
