"Return from Mecca" Still dressed in traditional Muslem clothing, Hadi Fye, who thinks she is in her late 50's, rests with her family at her home in a Serer tribe compound in Kotu, The Gambia, after returning from the Haj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Some of her children enjoy viewing 3-D photos of Mecca showing the Kaba, a gift to her family for showing them what her holy pilgramage was like. This was Hadi Fye's first Haj which is an expensive trip to take for most Gambians.
