Travel Budget for Cities inSenegal

Saint Louis was my absolute favorite place in Senegal. The food is delicious and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. Try the yassa which is a chicken dish with a mustard sauce. It's a national specialty and quite wonderful. The city itself has a lot of character and colonial buildings. It's fun to walk around and people watch. There are children dressed for school, fishermen bringing in the days catch, and an endless supply of goats around town. Head over to the waterfront and you can watch the fishermen bring in the days catch. We hired a friendly local to take us through the market and explain the drying process for the fish. It was quite an experience. The guide was very humble, so we were generous in our tip with him St Louis is a great place to experience a city in Senegal without the overwhelming chaos of Dakar.
