Original Toronto Star caption: Dakar's Main Streets have a Parisian flavor; with sidewalk cafes and miniskirted French girls; but the overriding tang is African; with more than 400;000 blacks swarming through the streets and markets in their tribal dress and Moslem regalia; turning a city of paved streets and modern shops into some vast buzzing African village. Because of that it's a good place to start a West African tour.
