After visiting the fishing boats, we headed to the Pink House--their version of the White House. We were about to take pictures when we were stopped by the armed guards and told that it was not allowed for security reasons. Instead, we took a picture of the sculpture that was across the street. It was created by the same sculptor who made the African Renaissance Monument.
Emergence--the birth of the nation in 1960
We then walked to a popular park in the city and saw a fountain with lions. Lions are one of the national symbols of Senegal. Unfortunately, the fountain wasn't working.
And then we watched a group of elementary school students walking on a field trip. It looked familiar!
