Lazy afternoons in Dakar, Senegal remind me of an old song by the Police,"Tea in the Sahara". Known here as ataya, this hot, sweet, frothy brew refreshes and invigorates. Enjoy our photos which will take you to foreign lands; the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, a refugee camp in Ghana, a remote town on the Liberia/Ivory Coast border, Niokolo Koba Game Park in eastern Senegal, the famous Goree Slave House, and other West African locations. Our personal stories recount sights, sounds, smells as a... newcomer, tourist, teacher, tour guide, toubab, tennis player, study abroad student, scholarship recipient, resident, government worker, consultant, volunteer, and newlywed. |
