Daily Life in Senegal
Another destination on Senegal's Mbour. All the necessary services. The arrival of fishermen at sunset (from 17:00 h.). The beach is filled with brightly painted canoes, no two alike, laden with fish. Women wait on the beach, selling. The men on the beach with ropes drag the canoes and unload the boxes. Sell to the factory more than in barracks, for auction, expected to be frozen and transported within the country and other countries, with fish, a source of national wealth. A tip: never take pictures of fishermen because they dislike anything, unlike the other people in the country who are willing to be photographed without asking anything in return.
Unlike Mbour (which left more photos), highlights the activity of the salt of the Lac Rose. A peculiarity: its high percentage of salt makes you float in the water, being really hard to get vertical. Salt is mined on a small scale: by boat, is extracted from the background and placed in small piles along the shore with a sign indicating the name of the owner, and dried in the sun to later be transported in bags and cart to the city to sell and sometimes barter.
