I stayed 3 weeks with Muhsana, Kan Sy and all the family. A very beautiful experience of Senegalese life and especially in the artistic world, not only with paintings, potteries, sculptures, mosaics but also on our exchanges, the "Thieboudienne" shared under the baobab, the Ataya tea late evenings and our various discussions always nice.
