Lahar, Senegal

Our second day in Senegal we went to a small village in Lahar. Being our first outing and the first group to go to Lahar we had no idea what to expect. All we knew was that life in the village is very relaxed. When we arrived we where introduced to the Chief of the village. We learned a little about the village, there are about 1,000 people in it, they harvest peanuts, and the kids go to school from nine to noon then from three to five. Knowing that we where Christians he made a point that Christians and Muslims in his village live together peacefully. When he found out that Megan and I were recently married he said he will pray that we are blessed with many children and many boys...I said that hopefully not too many :)

Here is the entrance to the village


This is a baobab three. These beautiful trees are all over Senegal.


Here is the primary school. Our guide Papa translated for us.


Here we are with the Chief, his son and his many grandchildren.
