Senegal with family

My preferred way to visit a country - staying with local people. The hospitality and kindness they showed were incredible. I had the chance thru my friend Mohamed to stay with his family. In the big house on the outskirt of Dakar are living;
Both his parents, one brother and two sisters with their spouses and there kids and the goats in the rooftoop. Overall 12 persons.
During meals it's the time where everybody comes together. There is a lot of laughter, discussions about politics, religion, sport, news but also the moment to talk about family issues. The food was always excellent. Mohamed's mother is the chef, queen of the kitchen (and of the family). She has two maids and their daughters which help.
I learned a lot about how they interpret the Koran on how to manage relationships in the family and the neighbourhood but also how one has to conduct oneseelf in the community. They look at the Koran as a guide for daily live.
In the Senegal Muslims anmd Christian live peaceully together, side by side.Baca lagi
