Screw Europe... We're going to Touba.

I don't know why more people don't know about this place! AH! So beautiful and peaceful. Can't even tell you. Totally unreal.

Okay... now I'll actually tell you what it is. Touba is the holy city of Mouridism and it was founded by Aamadu Bamba (you see his picture everywhere in Senegal). The mosque there is the second largest mosque in West Africa (the Casablanca mosque is the biggest I think) and 35,000 come to pray there every Friday. Crazy right? Also, just a fun fact, no one can engage in frivolous activities.. such as smoke, drink, dance or listen to music.




 I don't think I've ever experienced so much peace in my life.

Lots of peace and love,
Alyssa
