We visited a few other universities and study centers in order to familiarize ourselves with other available resources - there are computer labs and libraries at other learning facilities we can use. My friend Jenna took this picture of us: Avalon, Me, Arielle, JJ, and Samba (he is our guide and fantastic resource here; he takes us places when we need help or if we are uncomfortable to go somewhere alone).
My friend Jenna took this picture as well - we went simming at the olympic sized swimming pool here in Dakar. In this photo: Me, Jenna, JJ
There were massive diving platforms - we did not get to use them because we were not there during the diving hours but at least we got to swim and watch the kids dance to the loud music playing!
We, the Linfield Students and students from Kalamazoo went to Goree Island for a day so visit the maison des esclaves and a few other museums. The beach was gorgeous and there is a very unique culture on the island... like... well it is a mixture of westernized tourism, cultural heritage pride, and day-to-day life activities.
Me with our three guides - they are young women the center hire to help with orientation year after year. Here we are eating lunch while staring at the beautiful ocean.

This is a snap of a really neat mural on building

Last weekend I went with a group of friends to the beach in an area of Dakar called Yoff - we rented an apartment for two nights and just relaxed for a 2 day vacation. This was the lovely view from our balcony.
