Karati kids

First day of a 5 day workshop and I had just had to get out of the hotel at the end of the day. Suffocating hotels.

I took at taxi briefly to Dakar's coastline which is simply spectacular ... packed with walkers, runners and existentialists (I'm sure they're there somewhere) who populate the promenade while the beach itself is full of karate kids... literally hundreds of them. Fascinating to behold .... amazing to think the depth of passion that development has actually taken away from us. But thrilling to witness its ever presence.
