I just spent a few days in the south of the country, the Kedougou region of Senegal. Volunteers from all over Senegal convene there for the annual 4th of July party at the Kedougou house, and I took this time to explore the area as well. Ecologically, it's a whole different world down there. Whereas I'm in the desert, Kedougou is the tropics. I've definitely developed some envy for the volunteers serving in this region (they live in huts! there's vegetation!), but I also came back with 50+ mosquito bites (something I haven't had to deal with), so I'm realizing there's a pro and con for every living situation. So I soaked in the greenery, avocados and waterfalls while I was there, but I'm honestly pretty happy to return to the dry heat of my desert.

Wow, that is breathtaking (I would not love the mosquito bites though)!!
ReplyDeletemmmmm, Im jealous. When I come visit, can we take a trip to somewhere like that? Im quite fond of all things waterfall-esque. I am NOT a fan of misquito's but I would totally suck it up for some schaweeettt views like that. Did you have to walk there? How did you get there? bike?
ReplyDeleteI bet that tiny waterfall in Napa is nothing compared to this place! I was just in Big Sur area, I miss the wild and I miss you!!!
