La Brousse en images
This is how we got to Dembutan.
Camel belongs to the cousin next to me, turban wasn't just for the photo.
Pictures are pretty hard to upload here, and I am often hesitant to pull out my camera on the street in Niamey, but at long last here are a couple of images of what I’ve been up to!

Hi Nick,
I’m enjoying reading your posts and your photos. Around 10 yrs. ago I had a small business called Sahara Imports, selling silver jewelry made by a Tuareg silversmith named Moussa who I met in Philadelphia. I learned a lot about the symbolism in the carvings and shapes of the jewelry, and have a great admiration for Moussa’s skill at his craft. I really appreciate your stories which are giving context to the symbolism that I learned about during that time.
Thank you and keep up the good blogs!

Mr. Camel, I don’t think we are in Paris anymore…!
Keep up the posting; it sounds like you are having an amazing time, and I am very jealous! (It seems like just yesterday you were packing your valises en route to Niamey…)
