Passover 2013 in Dakar

This year was our first Passover overseas. We went to a friend's seder for the first night and then co-hosted a seder the second night. The kids had a blast helping to get ready - from cleaning to making items for the seder table to helping me cook. It was a fun challenge to find items in Dakar - a few highlights were the fabric matzo cover, Elijah's cup (the kids glued on the jewels), kid wine cups (also made by the kids), and a local maror spice in place of horseradish. We also used a local bissap syrup in place of sweet wine for the charoset. Also pictured below is a candid of Lucy and Oyane seated and ready for the seder to start.
