Tahoua 4

More things that have remained relatively unchanged....

In every village, meat, usually mutton, is grilled - all of it! The sellers will cut chunks off what's on the fire for you. Our teams loved buying meat for a snack - chunks of grilled liver, heart, intestine, etc., all mixed together. I tried some, but really couldn't stand it! I much prefer brochettes! At least you are pretty comfortable that it's safe if it's on the fire.

Meat is also cut into thin strips and dried/smoked.

Here's how you get around villages if you don't have your own vehicle and/or can't ride your animal. I have never figured out how so many people can cram into the back of a truck, and why more people don't fall out!

Kids playing video games - wait, what country am I in?
