Hello Everyone!
So, we just came back from a two-day trip out of Dakar. We went to our friend and director of a resort hotel located a couple of hours away from the city. It is heaven on earth. We actually saw wild horses, cows and what not on the road... these animals are part of the decor. What do I say? They're part of the community, and they do not mind cars driving by. Our girls went crazy. It was hilarious.
The whole ride, I had my computer on my lap, watching old videos of NYC's FNO (from a couple of years back), and music videos on iTunes! The girls were in the back, watching Dora and Strawberry Shortcake on their own mini-computer, and hubby... I don't know.... he was probably on the phone, trying to catch up on work. Thankfully, none of us had to drive. Sène the chauffeur kindly did that for us.
For those who do not know, a baobab tree is commonly known as the tree of life. It usually provides all the survival food, shelter, water for people and animals in savannah regions - which is exactly what that area of Senegal is. It has a huge bark and it is fire resistant. Its fruits are called "monkey bread" and it's full of good stuff like Vitamin C. The trees themselves can apparently last hundreds of years....
