Saint Louis


Then we were off to the French coastal city of Saint Louis, about 250 km or 160 mi. up the coast. It was about a 4 hr. ride in a 'sept (7) personnes', a station wagon that has had the back converted to another bench seat for 3 (can therefore carry 7 people) with no wheel wells for feet!
We stayed at a lovely hotel, Hotel de la Poste, right next to the Eiffel designed Pont Faidherbes.

We had a lovely time visiting K's friend Tim and breaking the Ramadan fast with his host family. We visited one of the sites where he works, a garden/place for young kids to come, wandering around the island and meeting other PCVolunteers.
