The day started out with a tour of Timbuktu. This is a picture of the ovens used by the women to do the cooking. Their bread is a flat, round bread that is actually pretty good. How would you like to have an oven like that?
The kids were never very clean. I just wanted to get a picture of one of the kids in the city with the typical shirt only attire.
Here is a cradle. Can you imagine putting your baby into one of these? Next to it is a wood frame for the mother's bed with a straw mat on top to sleep on. Looks comfy huh?
After the city tour we went outside of the city limits to meet our camels. The best part about riding a camel is getting on. What a ride!
Toby and Daniel had a hard time riding their camels due to the fact that they kept sliding forward in their seats. I just love the black turbans. Afterall, you can't go into the desert without a turban.
I was officially the BEST camel rider of the group. You can ask anyone. I guess I was born into the wrong country or something.
This is Devennie and I riding off into the sunset.
We pulled into our camp out in the Sahara Desert just before it got dark. The little tents in the background are made of camel skin and are where we got the priviledge to sleep.
