Left for Nazinga this morning. Stopped in Bobo to do some shopping & I went with Paul to change US dollars into francs. Sure glad our banking at home is not so time consuming. Candian dollars were changed with a Lebonese store keeper and US dollars at a bank. We saw a completly naked man. Paul said the man was probably insane. Later he told me I had met both extrems of society, the poor homeless & the very rich. Our driver was the same as we had coming to Oradara. Today he drove a bit faster, to keep up with Paul I assume. At one point I was in front to take some video clips & I noticed he ahd no sppedometer so I guess I was the only one who knew how fast we were going. We had to almost stop for a herd of Donkey's crossing the road. Another time a girl on a bike didn't get off the road when he blew his horn & he couldn't move over because of on comming traffic so he stopped & when back to yell at her. Some nice pot holes on a stretch of road. I banged my elbow on the window sill when he went through one of them. Arrived at the guest house in Ouagau around 6:30. Luanna gave me a neck rub for my headach & then we all went to a high class resturant. It had walls but no roof. I had a T bone steak. It was good. For desert I had ice cream, also good. Afterwards back to the guest house. It was about 10:30 so it is definetly bed time.
