Celebrating Almamy's birthday

The four of us, Almamy, Nalla, Martine, and I, met at a restaurant on the beach at the point of Almadies, the western most point of Africa. The setting was lovely, the food adventurous, and sunset was spectacular. 

We bought the freedom of some little birds, making a wish with each release. I learned later that these birds are considered a pest, as they eat the millet grain that grows in Senegal. Maybe they went back to eating the grain after we released them!

We ate oysters, sea urchins, shrimp, and calamari and watched the sun set. 

The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Thanks to Nalla for arranging it.
