Tabaski is tentatively scheduled for Friday the 21st (pending the decision of the Commission de la Lune).

I've decided to take a picture of the street every day, to chart the progress, and to share the Tabaski fun with you!

Here's the view today looking toward the Koulikoro road. Note that cars are actually able to drive down it.

This little guy doesn't know what's coming. After I shot this I realized there was someone napping in the hammock under the trailer.
