We stayed on the beach just outside St Louis for the past couple of nights, this area is called Hyrdobase, Ross said the land was going to rise up on mechanical legs and rotate but this never happened. Disappointing. We got up early yesterday morning and headed straight for a swim but the shore was blocked by thousands and thousands of crabs skuttling around where the waves break. We decided they formed too mighty an opposition and held back on our assault of the Atlantic. Our trip was not wasted though as we chatted for a while with a local fisherman, he posed us some difficult questions... Why do so many people get divorced in England? Why are there lots of suicides in Europe? These are hard to answer in English and almost impossible with our French but it was lovely to talk with him anyway. He won favour with Anneliese by saying she had a good heart, not sure what this implies about Ross'...
Hopefully heading to Dakar, Senegal's capital this afternoon.
Bye for now.
Anneliese & Ross
Sounds like that fisherman should stop musing on meaning of life the universe and everything and get out to fish some of those crabs! Sounds like there's a fortune to be had... (Do you 'fish' crabs? Or do you 'crab' them? Presumably he wouldn't be qualified if the latter...)
ReplyDeleteapparently you can fish crabs or go crabbing for crabs or just catch crabs. these crabs were not good to eat. I'm sure there must be some way to make money from them though, perhaps tying small goods to their backs and getting them to move them from one end of the beach to the other...
