One of the Sow brothers and our Saturday evening feast---Thieoboudienne---fish with rice---He is a former teacher and now an employee with the government's outreach to foreign and domestic investment partners.

He then in a demonstration of Senegalese "terranga"---hospitality and open-mindedness you see everywhere here---GAVE it to me!
