The Market in Chaos...And Not The European One

Danielle and I went to Serekunda Market today to buy fabric. The Gambian Roads Authority also decided to do massive road construction this week. The roads were dirty, dusty, and dangerous. There were gaping holes everywhere in preparation for laying piping, I assume. At one intersection, people were ducking under and around a working backhoe that was digging a hole in the street. Utter chaos...

A mound of dirt in the middle of the "street."


A HUGE ram. I had to take a picture.

This woman is picking her way around the debris from this crater.

Those boards laying across the ditch are makeshift bridges so people can get to the shops.

"Oh look! A sidewalk, let's cross over and walk on it." -Danielle
