Crabs and Coupe du Monde

Am enjoying my 2nd Senegalese mini break in the space of a month. Have managed to watch parts of 3 football matches (with French commentary) which is a world record. Can't say I'm particularly interested... although I do feel a slight pang of sadness that the north Koreans are not going to make their dear leader happy with a win over Brazil :O(

Here is Spearsy indoctrinating me into the ways of England football hooligan!
He is also converting the Senegalese... here are Marthe and Khady proudly holding the flag!

Went for a mini walk on the beach and saw hundreds of large crabs... fortunately they seemed quite scared of me. This one however didn't have a hole to hide in and so I was able to get a close up snap whilst it played sleeping lions in the hope I wouldn't stamp on it!
Crab sunset
just lovely... aren't I lucky to be here!!
slightly dodgy bridge leading out to sand island
Bougainvillea... wish my plant (a donation from Al) would flourish like these... am thinking the English clime could be the problem... it is hot here, but the sea breeze makes it seem quite pleasant really.
