#14 More Pics, Senegal

1. The African Renaissance Monument.  That small spot of pink in the front of the monument is Diana's hat.  She's only about half way from me to the monument so that will give you some sense of scale.
2. One of the village livestock markets, mostly goats but some long horned cattle.  The cart in the foreground is typical transportation in the villages.
3. Pink Lake salt processing.  You can see the small boats on the lake scooping the muck from the bottom.  There are three ladies carrying tubs on their heads in the picture.  That muck must weigh a ton, probably about the same as wet sand or a little heavier.  As you can also see the men on the shore are mostly just standing around.  The men in the boats have to shovel the muck off the bottom.  If you've ever dug in wet clay soil you know how that goes.  Then they have to shovel it into the tubs.  I don't think I'd want to arm wrestle either the boatmen or the women.
4. One of the tour trucks on the beach.
5. Diana in front of one of the resort's rooms.
