Island Streets

Yes, it's been a while.

Here is a photo of a random street on Goree Island, off the coast of Senegal. Goree Island was one of the largest transit ports for slaves transported across the Atlantic. Visiting the island gave me mixed emotions, but the strongest one I felt was compassion between the habitants of the island, as well as my relation to its history. There were many independent artist, selling their artwork and sculptures. The energy was great! There was also a large monument at the top that(to me, anyway) carried NO significance in design. The museum was also dilapidated and dissappointing. I hate sounding so negative, but the beauty of the island (the buildings, the coasts, the mini-beach, the cobble streets, the artist and habitants) impacted me more than the lackluster representations of history. Anyway, I had a great time and enjoyed myself.
