Pictures: Goat Farm, Mbour, Mar Lodj, Ngor

We set out very early one morning (to beat the heat, I assume) to visit the family whose goats' milk Maniang uses to make his cheese. Here's the sunrise behind baobabs out in the countryside:


Along the way, Maniang and Kap had fun with a dried out cow skull they found:


Baobabs are large and we are small:


I didn't want to take to many pictures around the family's place, because we were there as friends (not obnoxious tourists!), but their family compound looked something like this:

Back in Mbour, Maniang has a small room in his house where he makes the goat cheese, which he then sells to tourists and local hotels:


From Mbour, I headed off alone for a few days to this small paradise, Mar Lodj:


Herons and egrets!


And a last sunset in Ngor, my last evening:
