Road to Ker Soce


Kevin and Fiona got into town. They have been spending the last month traveling around Africa. We have spent the last several days exploring Senegal with them as our guides.

The pool area and restaurant at the hotel in Ker Soce.

The first night we spent in Ker Soce (Kursosa). We stayed at what used to be a really nice hunting lodge. I’ll post videos soon. It looked like the owners went back to France and the huts AKA hotel rooms, took quite a beating during the rainy season. While there we were blessed with a storm, there was thunder and lightning and rain, which was a nice break from the heat.

While in Ker Soce, we stopped by the school that Dox put the basket ball hoop up on their trip last spring break. They are building more rooms for the school and this last year the Ker Soce school received the highest marks of all the Senegal schools.

Scotty and Kevin checking out the new school construction.

All around the school are many villages that all send their children to Ker Soce for school. It’s been amazing to see the difference in the housing from brick buildings in Malika, where we live, to concrete reinforced huts around Ker Soce.

An example of a hut village.

Also because of all the rain everything is green, which paints a much different picture of Senegal life. Everything is so new to us that there are always new novel things to share, these are just a few of the many interesting things we saw on the road to Ker Soce.

The sky is crazy in that hotel picture! And maybe stay out of that pool?
