Waiting for the tire to be fixed
Senegal
The road between Matam and St. Louis in Senegal is not very good to begin with, and was worsened by the rains during the hivernage season.  A bad road plus an erratic and aggressive driver led to a punctured tire, and a detour in the village on Ourro Funde for repairs.  Here Latsouk, the Senegalese student I worked with, observes the activity.
