Where is the Cape Verde Peninsula?
Cape Verde Peninsula (15°06′40″N 23°37′00″W), French Presqu’île du Cap Vert, peninsula in west-central Senegal that is the westernmost point of the African continent. Formed by a combination of volcanic offshore islands and a land bridge produced by coastal currents, it projects into the Atlantic Ocean, bending back to the southeast at its tip. Exposure to southwesterly winds contributes to Cape Verde’s seasonal verdant appearance, in contrast to the undulating yellow dunes to the north. The cape is the site of modern day Dakar, the capital of Senegal, and its immediate suburbs.

Actually taught geography for a year after retiring from the AF. Found out I didn't like those 18 hour days

It sounds French and the only country that's French and listed is Senegal.

ibelieverom.623, I always have gut instinct, too often overthink and pick another answer, only to find out my first choice was correct😱
