On Saturday we thought we'd explore downtown Podor and we dropped into an outdoor covered food market. Dozens of vendors were selling meat, fish, vegetables and spices. Most of the older people asked me to not take their photo, and I always respected their wishes. I appreciated those who did allow me to make photos.
It sure helped to be able to speak French. Who knew high school could be so useful? Senegal is a land with many languages -- Wolof, Pulaar, Serrer, to name a few -- but most people also speak French. The country is a former French colony, and the language stuck. It's not unusual in Senegal to run into someone who may speak three or four languages.
Here are a few more images of the food market in Podor, Senegal.
