Visited very friendly travel agent to investigate possible trip into Lompouil a small desert 50 ks or so from here.
We will be given a special air con (clim) car and vist Lac rose a pink salt lake on the way. We promise to confirm after discussions amongst ourselves.
The day is languid. the weather perpetual sun and we encounter a drink with 20 times the amount of Vitamin C than that of orange juice. Baobab juice.We spend the arvo along with some rowdy south africans in a blue restaurant beside the rocky beach. Fish are frying and talk is of Tabaski which involves goat slaughter on a massive scale apparently. They are being fed in the streets in throngs readied for next weeks fateful day of meat giving. I guess thanks giving must be a similiar thing to the turkeys......
I am reading an interesting book lent to me by my hosts

which sadly comes to life after the visit to Lisle de Goree.
