Lunch Break

This is the ocean view from the Place du Souvenir, one of President Wade's cultural projects to stimulate the economy and attract tourists. It is not quite finished, but the sculpture of Africa is part of a large fountain, in front of the ocean.
I walked here during our two hour lunch break. For lunch, I bought a sandwich from the corner stand for $1 - a whopping value meal of a dense package of french fries, mystery meat, mayonnaise, a fried egg and hot sauce. I really don't know how I survived.  Fortunately, it's been a few hours and I'm still here, however I think I don't need to try it again.
This is another view from the Place...this type of contrast between beautiful sculptures and buildings and piles of garbage has been a reoccurring theme.
