Couscous and spicy goat stew for dinner at the end of a very interesting first day of the trip.



Day 2.

I had a good sleep in, and after a run had breakfast of jam toast and coffee.


At about 10am, I went with my guide for a walk to the village of Douguia.


At the local pharmacy, built with aid from the French government.


In the shade.


We then walked to the local school.


And said a quick 'bonjour' to the kids.


The main language of instruction was French.


Walking through the village.


The buildings were made from a mixture of bricks and mud.
