Our Senegal IVIM team arrived safely! We will welcomed at the airpot in Dakar by Pastor Joseph Bleck and transported to the United Methodist Mission for breakfast and fellowship.

"Tanagra means 'hospitality.' "Senegal is a nation of hospitality, and this is at the center," said Pastor Bleck, pointing at the table.
Following the meal our team was weary from travel and required some of that hospitality to recover! After a short break we joined Pastor Bleck around the table again for a late lunch of Yassa (rice) with beef, and salad.
From the mission we began a bus tour of the city, which included a stop at the African Renaissance Monument; the below statue was erected in 2010. Inside the statue was a museum to African History and a elevator to the top.
The statue looks over the city of Dakar and offers stunning views of the city and gorgeous sunsets!
We leave early tomorrow to worship with one of the UMC Churches. Follow us tomorrow along our journey!
