					The market in Thiès was very busy, but it was much easier for us to navigate than the markets in Dakar because it is not geared toward tourists. Photograph by Luke Klein
We bought beautiful fabrics at this boutique. We then took the fabric to a tailor who measured us for traditional Senegalese outfits, which we picked up toward the end of the trip. Photograph by Luke Klein
					I talked with this man for a little while. He had lived in France for fifteen years before returning to Senegal. He described the difficulties of growing old in Senegal. Photograph by Luke Klein
