Entrances are beautifully decorated.



Although they definitely don't call it the ancient city because everything is new and modern. It only recently had gotten a paved road.



Girls doing henna.


The obligatory bike shot. I can't help but find these bikes and the settings in which they are parked fascinating.

Lori (my colleague out here in Nigeria) and I actually visited these cloth sellers back in May. I recently went back and they remembered my name and asked how Lori was doing. Since then, several other batures ("white" people or foreigners) have passed them in the marketplace and they all asked them how we were doing. Definitely a village atmosphere in the old city, everyone knows everyone. The cloth sellers were definitely a fascinating bunch to talk with. Well educated and well informed on world affairs. And yes, they care much for Bush either, hah!
