La Grande Mosquee de Touba













Last week on our way to our second village homestay in Mouit - a village not far from St. Louis in Northern Senegal - we stopped at this mosque for a quick, hot tour.


This is one section of the ceiling being repainted. We were there on a Saturday, in between prayer times, so it was very empty compared to the thousands of Muslims that come for Friday prayers.


Before we arrived at the village we stopped for a picnic - (I had cheese in my sandwich! Cheese is such a luxury here. You can get cow cheese in the boutiques on every corner, but it's not refrigerated...and not quite that cheese-like.) - and some tourist-in-a-tree photos.
