Portugal

This afternoon I'll be trying to enter the Olympique Stadium at Nouakchott where there will be Abdelazize, the President of Mauritania since the "coup d'état" of last August, SidiAbdallai the ancient president and the forces of opposition plus the honour guest the Head of the African Union, Kadafi, if I get in I'll sketch and post it at Urbansketchers.
Otherwise I'm leaving tomorrow by bus to Portugal, around 3.000 km crossing Western Sahara, Marocco and a bit of Spain and expect to take 10 days. The bus a bright yellow one belongs to a french family that drive down a couple of times a year to do some humanitary work in a village in Senegal.
Hopefully I'll sketch as I go so for a while there won't be any posting.
I post this images from my last visit to Portugal. I hope to be back in a couple of weeks with new drawings from my trip, thank you all for visiting and commenting.

    He estado mirando tus dibujos y me
    encantan las escena tradicionales de saharahuis que tienes, sobre todo los cuadros del desierto.
    Espero que pases una buena estancia en Portugal.
