I know I always mix the arts and some type of celebration on my posts…
Anywhoo it was my best friend Rica bday yest..and we deciced to catch dinner with her sister in law Bigue at la Palmerais de Dakar…
We all had a craving for crepes…if you do go..try the berta..with shrimps onions and bechamel, gratine, and cheese…suculent..for those on a date..the portions are huge as well so u and the boo can share…We ended up staying discussing laughing for a long time actually…time does really fly when you have a good time:)
In the morning I went to visit the museum des Forces Armees de Dakar…I realy enjoyed this cultural place, I learned so much about the laptos de Goree, les tirailleurs senegalais, I learned about Macoud Fall the first Senegalese officier of the French Army…
They did a great job with the pictures with the dolls that represent these courageous men, reacting their lives, my guide Mr Ndong one of the artists there explained that when the tirailleurs senegalais would go to war they wives would join them to help them reload their guns..ect
Actually at the museum you can see some of the guns used that were made around 1880..I mean history koi
I learned about the last tirailleur senegalais who died around the age of 100..Mr Ndong was really upset that this man never really received the respect that he was due even the interest actually in his life ect..and I feel like we could have learned so much from this man…
If you do go please enter the room called ‘La guerre des Tranchees’ it so well reproduced..you really feel the war the state of urgency ect…
Bref I loved it…
Yaye
Dakar ...Creating life memories..:)
