Yesterday, the 4th of April, was Senegal's independence day. I went to Dialacoto to see the parade there; the kids marched by with their school clases, and the women with the women's groups (which mostly do gardening). My favorite was five guys who walked by with a fishing net and a basket; I guess they must have been the local fishermen, but they didn't have a sign.
In the afternoon I went to a "campement" (tourist hotel/campsite) with a couple of other volunteers, just to hang out for a while. We got lucky, and there were hippos playing in the river there – the first time I've been them. I took lots of pictures. Hopefully they'll be up soon.
