Kadar, Senegal

We just spent 3 relaxing days at sea. I really did not do much. The new guest

speaker just hasn’t grabbed my attention. We had a few port lectures so we’re

prepared for the next 3 ports.

Monday we were at Kadar, Senegal, the last of our West African countries. It

seems as we move further north the poverty is less. Although you will see from

the picture, there are still a lot of “roadside” businesses.

 It was extremely dusty in Kadar, I think worse than Dubai. We took a city tour and

it was nice. There was a lot of new construction going on. For a Muslim country, we

did not seem many in traditional Arab clothes. Most people were in western clothes.

We went by the University and I only saw a few women in Muslim clothing. We will

be heading west for a couple if island stops before one more stop in Africa before

heading to Europe. Unfortunately our cruise is nearing its end.

In the afternoon the African “National Ballet La Lingiure” performed. The show was

absolutely fantastic. The dancers were wonderful and so energetic. They had to be

exhausted when it was over. It was definitely a big hit
