There have been some great developments while we've been gone. Remember I mentioned all the construction going on in our neighborhood? Well, it seems that one big project a bit down the road will be done before the end of the year--a new Casino. And no, it's not the kind of casino where you gamble, but a Casino as in a supermarket chain (from France?). Right now I have to go all the way into town to go to the big supermarket (where they also accept credit cards--few places here do) to do my weekly shopping. I don't get any produce or meats or fish there, just juices, milk, cheeses, rice, honey, marmalades--things like that. Still you don't always find what you need but it's the best one-stop-shop in Dakar. So, I'm really excited that we'll have one close by to the house.
Another bonus is that further down the road from the new Casino they've opened up a new gas station. It is a big deal because there are always lines here to fill up your tank. Hopefully the gas station will do well and we won't have to wait too long next time we fill up the tank. Oh, and in case you were wondering, here you don't get out of the car, someone pumps the gas for you.
The only other thing that I would like would be a nice, quiet coffee shop. Something close by where you can get some good coffee or tea and a small snack in a quiet atmosphere.
