Market Day!!



Okay everyone...here are some pix from our market in Guidan Roumdji. Our market is every Sunday and we have been going to practice language and see people (and of course to pick up a beautiful headwrap along the way!).

Here is a pic of a camel at market! We were able to get so close!! Haven't ridden one yet but that's coming...just wait!!







This is the grain part of market...they sell millet, corn, beans and other things like this that they use to make their sauces. I have to say...this place is not really known for it's food!!!















Here is the "parking garage!" I don't know how they tell their own donkey from the others...they must have some type of system!!!











Here is a view down one of the aisles of the market...we had to take this pictures inconspicuously so we didn't get mobbed by children!!




And that concludes our tour of the Guidan Roumdji market!! Hope you enjoyed the ride!!!

    Beans and rice??? It sounds like something from Survivor!

    I hope you are enjoying your time there as much as we are enjoying reading about it!

    We love you!

    Neat pictures. Really gave me better insight into your area.
    Don't stand too close to those camels, I hear they like to spit on you. Our heart is with you, Rach. Love, Grandma & Grandpa Brown
