The Pause that Refreshes

monotone photo of Senegalese toddler eyeing a bottle of Coca Cola

He prefers Coca Cola!

Senegal, 1998

It’s hot in Senegal: hot and humid. For tourists, it’s water or Coke…and for this little boy as well. It’s obvious he prefers the taste of Coke.

One of our group had set the bottle on the bench while examining the batik prints on offer. This little boy plopped himself on the bench and began to inch forward. Soon he was upending the bottle. You can’t beat a coke on a blistering hot day.

    You’re not usually into to “cute” but this one has it in spades. Brought a big smile to my grumpy face. J.
