trip to toubacouta, senegal
-
little village north of the gambia.
mid september 2006. we went there to camp out with some university students that lived near the village, and to experience some of the "cultural traditions" that senegal is known for: lutte (form of wrestling), the mangroves, clearing fields while running from the concuran, etc. all in all, it was a very educational four days. and man, did we eat a lot.
