The Last Day, the First Big Storm

Fatou spends her final full day in Dakar in a city holding its breath before a violent thunderstorm, packing up her new apartment, savouring one last plate of thieboudienne, and taking stock of everything a week of teranga has taught her. She checks in on the CIE card, wrestles with the BRT app, and closes out the arrival arc with a rooftop view of the rain. ☕ Enjoying the show?
