Aminata and odds


Hermann bought a washing machine for the Auberge, this was the last time that Aminata had to wash the bed sheets by hand. She was really happy when she saw the machine and she called it " Aminata, the second"

sketches of portuguese

We're a small group of Portuguese people living in Nouakchott.
Any occasion seems good to get together sharing a good meal specially the one's cooked by Afonso, a great cook of traditional Portuguese food.

listen to Africa at auberge Sahara

Huw and Bex from England have taken 24 months two cycle around Africa and record their sounds.
After a long ride in the desert they arrived to Auberge Sahara Nouakchott where I'm working. You can check their blog or follow them on twitter.
Their bikes and bodies are in need of a rest and small repairs so they'll be staying for a couple of days.
To see Bex tinkering with her bike check out urbansketchers
