Lac Rose "The Pink Lake"


One of the many things we have wanted to do and just finally got around to doing is going swimming in Lac Rose, Senegal's answer to the Dead Sea. It's a pretty cool place, you can see the salt harvesters from the swimming hole, which has full restraunts so you can eat and relax, super nice. It even has a fresh water spring that you can rince the salt off with.

We were lucky to go on a day where there were no tourists, just us, so nice. The water felt slimey and was thick like watered down syrup and HOT. I guess with all the salt and minerals it retains the heat? But it was AMAZING how easy it was to float and how hard it was to put your feet down under you.
