Wednesday 10th nov

Dawn and the very fast Dakar jets awaken one at the normal  hour. The travel agent Colline is unable to arrange a trip to la lac Rose and the desert stars until monday. We trust the return 85k trip into the teeth of the pre tabaski traffic as everyone returns home goat underarm to share with friends and neighbours. Reenacting the Abraham Isaac sacrifice. If only the arch angels could stay their hands on Tabaski.. we see more and more of the goats fattening on the street corners waiting with the cold knowledge in their eyes.

Day at the mall, lunch by the sea and shirt buying. We also went to the un local Casino. Bought a moulinex blender and carried it home like a leaf cutter ant to give as a present.
