The Senegalese have restored most of the colonial buildings, and turned a place with a horrific history into a beautiful destination. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

island hopping
I recently went on a quick trip to Dakar, and during my visit my friend Lisa and I went to Goree Island. The island was a "last stop" sort of destination in the slave trade, as it lies at the very western tip of Africa. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you can take a virtual tour here: http://webworld.unesco.org/goree/en/index.shtml
