Day 1- Dowtown Senegal

Being in Africa has set off many emotions. I wasn't sure how I would feel and being here has caused me to be very reflective.

We visited the newly built Senegal Renaissance Monument that cost 24 million dollars. However, the North Koreans built it. It has been a source of controversy because the people of Senegal are struggling to work and the jobs were given to Koreans.

The image itself is controversial because the woman isnt appropriately represented. Her clothing is more revealing than the women here and her features are not African (pictures to come) Tomorrow will be the day that has made me lose sleep. We will visit Goree Island, the last stop before the Mid-Atlantic passage.
