Last weekend everyone in our trip went to Toubab Djalo, a fishing village on the coast of Senegal, south of Dakar.
I took drumming lessons
and Senegalese dance lessons
and made Batik, which is kind of like tie die except you make designs and then paint them with wax so that the die does not show up on that part of the cloth.
This was our hotel
There were several beach spots at our hotel. This one had nice rocks to climb.
Then we visited this other hotel, I'm not really sure why, but it had these really cool gazebo things like in this picture. If you stood on one end of the gazebo then when a person at the opposite end talks the sound travels in such a way that it sounds like their voice is coming from behind you, it's really freaky. Also if you stand in the middle and talk you sound like your speaking through a microphone, but you only sound like that to yourself, not to people standing in a different part of the gazebo.
On our way back one of the buses got stuck and we had to push it out of a ditch.
