Ok, I have to say I am beyond frustrated with the internet right now, since the third photo in the four posts I have yet to post will not upload! Internet gods, please listen to my plea and grace me with your favor! Until then folks, please enjoy my recent trip to my favorite place in the area, the Fulani Market held every Wednesday a few minutes from Jimeta. It's farming season, so there's even more hustle and bustle there than usual. I came across a man selling some dope swords with very detailed etchings, and my friend Rachel just had to have her picture taken with two young girls letting the public know that they're looking to get married to someone suitable. Any takers? In case you're interested, they are both wearing knitted beanie caps that have beads strung on them, and loads of bling. One love, y'all...
