We did it! There are 2 main tourist attractions here in Dakar and we have now visited the 2nd - The wild game Reserve De Bandia! (The first was Goree Island.) It took us about 90 minutes to drive out there and then we hired a tour guide who rode around in our truck for another 90 minutes. The guides have a heads-up on where the animals can be found each day. We rolled our windows down and enjoyed searching for animals. It's a large game park with 1,500 animals and we just drove until we spotted an animal and then followed it. Although we've seen these animals before at various zoos, it's different to be 15 feet away and looking out your window at them.
There are also a few random pictures of cultural things here that still surprise us. (More blogs on that to come.) There are some pictures of the kids at a park very near our house. That was a great experience for us and we'd like to go back often as a way of meeting kids and parents. Oh, and we did finally find bread, hamburger and chicken!
