Banc d'Arguin National Park
The park was AMAZING, and definitely worth all the tribulations of the previous day. Millions of birds live in this international wetland reserve, with over 100 different species. For more information on the park, click here.
We saw flocks of flamingoes, pelicans, and a dozen different species of terns, and dolphins accompanied us almost the entire way, doing all sorts of spectacular tricks. There were rainbow-colored fish that jumped straight out of the water, only to be caught and eaten mid-air by a dolphin -- not sure what the fish were thinking, but it was fun to watch!
On a related note, this experience was largely responsible for my recent purchase of a new lens... *sigh* if only I'd had it then :)
A few pictures from the park:
