Visual Landmarks..






                                                                   My internship!

  
Radiology
  

                                          Cracks in the walls from damaged radiology equipment.


                                                    Darkroom-the red light was broken so all the radiologists could move like champs in the dark.


Lacking a computer system, all patients were registered in this book. It was the same size as my torso. Records had to be brought by hand between departments if there were patients going to different pavilions. 




Creepy artwork in the activity room..





Social Service office! Quincey and I spend a lot of time in here...
This is the profile we would have social service applicants fill out. We asked about financial/social lifestyles, family information, and living conditions.

On the Road Again!!
 On the bus passing St. Louis for our rural visit.. and got a lovely picture of a local mosque..
 Beach of Seashells, all tiny but so beautiful..
 All of us on the beach! We took a pirogue out to this island with an extremely remote beach.












Here is the Pulaar family that gave me my cow.. and of course, this is the lovely Fillet Mignon.
 Awa and I at the nomadic Pulaar community.
 Mauritania!! (we contemplated border crossing.. but decided against it.)
 Rural visit to Gaïe for a weekend.. all of us slept on these mats in our hosts' courtyard, with the sheep and the scary bathrooms..
 What Fillet Mignon will grow up to be..

 Sunset over the Pulaar herd in Northern Senegal.
 The Dangerous Back-Seat..




 Awa and I at the Dolima factory! (local dairy company, yay community development!)
 Extremely concerning dead bug.. thank goodness we didn't see any live counterparts..
Highway into the Sahel..
St. Louis!!


Our shnazy hotel..

Tiny Cart-horse.

Elementary School in St. Louis

Clean Streets!

Mosque tower in town on the way from St. Louis

Cart-horses are everywhere, even in crowded round-a-bouts in Dakar, as well as in small villages.
