This is where we were yesterday. In N'gor, a suburb of Dakar. Brook had a meeting with Tate, a cool guy who works with Enterprise Works in DC but who is out here for some cashew stuff. Tate was staying out at this hotel which looks better than it is. It's got the view and the waves from the ocean, which goes far in my books, however the customer service and the rooms leave much to be desired. When I stayed here in early 2004, one of the maids accused me of stealing their towels (ugly, dinky ones too!) when I informed the front desk that I was never given a towel in my room. Ah, the beauties of customer service in Africa. Brook had a cashew conference in M'bour (a tourist destination outside of Dakar). That is where we had to eat the mystery salads and other unmentionable cafeteria tourist food. Eww. I might talk about the mystery salads in another post. I definitely think it deserves an "Honorable Mention" in scary food. I'm just kicking myself that I didn't take a picture of them.
