Dipping His Toes

Today was the first time Gusi bathed in the Atlantic Ocean. For weeks now he's been seeing the ocean as we drive along the Corniche, one of the main roads here in Dakar that is so lovely since you are right next to the ocean. And right after we got here, he also got to go rock hopping ocean-side at a restaurant not too far from the house. But today he got to go to one of the nice beaches, strip down to his swimming diaper and play in the ocean. He loved it. LOVED IT. We even saw some hermit crabs and sea snails which made the adventure all the more exciting. Amazing how this city grows on you when you see it through a child's eyes.
