This the beach at Popenguine, the town where I went with other trainees to decompress for a weekend of fun in the sun. The hill in the backgroud has old bunkers from WWII on it that were controlled by the Vichy government in France during the German occupation. The women you see were the most tenacious merchants I have met yet in Senegal. I snapped this photo after yapping back and forth with them for nearly an hour. They finally decided to give up on me and called me a "Kacoor" or trickster.
