Thies Senegal - French Bread Delivery

Every morning before dark, a couple of cool Senegalese guys deliver our daily ration of French Bread. This bread is such a staple, that the government controls it's price. Most of the time they are on-time at around 6:45 AM. We wait outside until they arrive in a fancy bread car.


Check out the car lights. Power photography.



As you can tell by the clothing, it is winter in Senegal. It was probably down to 65.
The bread is precisely arranged in the back of the bread car and delivered house to house. The driver wanted his picture taken with me as well. We get 6 loaves for breakfast.

Looks much more appetizing than goat heads! I wonder if you all will ever want french bread again after you get home. I would imagine you are a little tired of it, even if it is delicious and delivered in a cool delivery car. Love,
Nancy
