Popenguine: beach!


To finish up my visit, Kaitlyn decided we should go to the coast and relax on the beach. So she rented a house that a PC group had used for a meeting, near the house they stayed in as a big group at Thanksgiving. It was lovely, loads of tropical flowers. We had the whole house for $40/night. Town name Popenguine, may be misspelled. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach, swimming, talking to ladies trying to sell us things, cooking, talking, eating, playing cards, sleeping, using the wifi at the cafe up on the street level, walking more on the beach, drinking good coffee, eating more mangoes. It was a super way to wrap up my time in Senegal, gave us lots of time to chat and relax before heading back to Dakar and goodbye for now. I was sad to leave my girl, but she was with a couple of good friends, and we’re planning to get the family together again in a few months, at Christmas.
