The parents meet the Island

We took the parents and the Swiss to the famous Goree Island while they were visiting.
We went to all the normal sites, the slave house.  Here is Crystal's mom with our Swiss friend Andrea checking out the holding areas in the house.
Some kids playing on our walk to the top of the Island, the Castle.
Crystal got suckered into buying some jewlery by Marie Anne.

Artists lined up their work on the walkway to the top of the island.

This is one of Crystal's favorite ways artist display their work.

At the Castle, there are some old military guns.  Here Sandro (the other Swiss) and Crystal's dad, Vern are playing.

The gears that make the guns move, pretty amazing.

Some of the bunkers for the guns were empty and being used as hotel/camping sites for locals and tourists.
