Overall Senegal was a really great experience. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences between Senegal and Cape Verde. It was a bit chaotic and aggressive, but not nearly to the extent that I had been expecting. The country itself is beautiful. Granted we had the luck of seeing it during the rainy season. I really enjoyed the smaller villages and family compounds. The most shocking thing about Senegal was definitely the amount of young boys with no supervision or opportunities. The talibe is heartbreaking. Based on how the kids acted with us, I can only assume that these boys are starved for any real attention. If you give them a smile, they just light up.
