Meditation on the local Fauna - no Flora...to dry

Went to the animal market this morning......How many things can you fit on one small scooter......at last estimate we had: 1 small scooter....2 rather plump men, an enormous sheep and at clutch of at least several chickens - head down, of course!

The sheep around here are the tough supermodels of the ruminant world. Long, spindly-legged, skinny. They look like little barrels on toothpicks, with the most enormous flap ears. It also looks like most of them fell bottom-first into vats of white paint, as most are half black/half white.

As for the camels, they seem a supercilious, cantankerous bunch - noses in the air, batting their eye-lashes and chewing their neighbours ears.

No pix, sorry. The connection is slow slow....

Salut Solange et Eric,
Un petit mot du babuvati pour vous "féliciter" pour ces 16 heures de taxi-brousse !!! toujours d'attaque ou l'appel des bus se fait déjà plus fort ?
Bon, d'un autre côté, vous avez encore la grosse pêche !
En ce qui nous concerne j'avoue que l'option bus est la prioritaire dans tous les cas.
Bonne route à vous et à bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures mutuelles !
Bye.
Le Babuvati
