Winter in Senegal
January 14, 2010 | Filed Under Uncategorized
One of my favorite parts about winter in Dakar, besides the sunny days with cool breezes and temperatures around 75 F, is that when the temp. does drop below 74, you would think it was going to snow any second if you look at the way people dress. I am as guilty as anyone, especially having spent the two years before coming to Dakar in southwest Florida. From my scarf-wrapping and feet-stomping, you would never guess I spent my first 22 years scraping ice off of windshields in the mornings for three months of the year.The street vendors do one of the best jobs of dressing for harsh weather, seeing as how they are outside all the day. The puffy jackets and scarves come out, as hoods are wrapped around the head. Case in point is Mr. Samba here. After I took this photo around 6 pm in the evening, I went back and checked on weather.com what the temp. was: 70F. And the sun was shining.

I am so loving your posts. Laughing from one while I still had tears on my cheeks from the emotions of another. Love YOU Ricci.
Just curious… what is the focus to infinity reference….. just got it while I was typing. We had a discussion about it. I AM sending you that geometric picture with the similar triangles showing the photographic concept now.

Buffalonians would eat Mr. Samba for dinner if they saw him in a pushy coat on a 70-degree day.
I mean PUFFY coat.
