Saint-Louis was the first french settlement in Africa. It was used to be the capital of France territory of Senegal.
There were some colonial buildings left in the center.

Saint-Louisと書いてサンルイ。ここはフランスが始めて作った街で、かつてはフランス領セネガルの首都だったそうだ。街中にはコロニアルな建物が残っている。






I liked souvenir here.
セネガルの土産物はなかなか良い感じの物が多い。




I didn't want this by the way.
この木の人形は欲しくはないけど。


The island where my campground is is connected by a bridge from the main part of the city.
There is the fishing harbor. I need to go by every time when I go to the center by bicycle.
There were always crowd of people. It's very fun to watch.

自分のキャンプ場がある西側の島は橋でつながっていて、ここにサンルイの漁港がある。市街地に行くにはこの漁港を通るのだけれど、いつもすごい活気で見ているだけですごく面白い。


From around noon, fishermen came back from the ocean with a lot of fish.
There is no wharf, so people transfer the container of fish one by one. It looked a lot of work.

大量の魚が毎日昼頃になるとあがって来る。漁港といっても岸壁がないから、浮かんでいる船から次々に魚を運ぶ。すんごい重労働。






There was a market in another side of historical bridge where I crossed yesterday.
There was also many people. Seemed the women were the leader of a market. They looked so powerful.
鉄の橋を渡って本島に行くとここに普通の市場があって、ここも人でごった返している。セネガルの市場の主役は女性。みんなすごい迫力。





The market of Senegal was different from markets I've visited so far; of cause people, things to sell and atmosphere.
I was always impressed how African carried thing on their head skillfully.

これまで見た市場とは売ってる物や雰囲気も違っていて、人を見ているのが面白い。みんな器用に頭で物を運んでいる。


In Senegal, general food such as potatoes, carrots etc.. were surprisingly not cheap. Especially, tomato was very expensive since those are transported from Spain.

セネガルはジャガイモやニンジン等の一般食料品は案外高い。トマトとかはスペインから輸入してるからすごく高かった。


Many buses were very scrap looking but running all around the town. Each has different design and colors. It was fun to look.

何で動くのか不思議なくらいボコボコの乗合バスが良く走っている。それぞれデザインが違っていて面白い。なかなか風情があって良いもんだ。






Senegalese dishes were generally cheap. If i pay 500 to 1500CAF, I could eat easily.
I'm very happy to be able to have rice everyday.

滞在中に食べたセネガル料理。普通の食堂で500CAF～1500CAFくらい約100円～300円で食べられる。やっぱ米があるのは嬉しい。




Coca-Cola was also from Africa!!
コーラを頼むとアフリカコーラが出て来る。
