Gettin' Slippy


Sunday is a special day here in Dakar.

It’s the day everyone brings their sheep (and there are lot of sheep) to the beach to get a bath. The sheep hate it and do everything to avoid getting wet. The kids love it.



This was great. I saw it happen a couple times during my walk. A group of kids is try to wash a sheep, it gets freaked out and escapes. A hilarious chase ensues with kids and sheep all over the beach running in every direction yelling god-knows-what in Wolof. I've never seen a lamb move so fast!



Like most things here in Senegal, this turns into a social event. Why wash your sheep alone when you can do it with some buds? When the kids are doing it, it's usually at least a 4:1 boy-to-lamb ratio.




This one's the best. Like I said, the sheep don't go into the water easily. Check out how this guy is dragging the sheep in - by its right leg. If that isn't funny enough, check out the amazing face on the cute kid in the foreground. So smug.
