seven. Yahya's son Samba (age 34) got married to a girl named Bambi (18). Bambi (BOMB-bee) is his first cousin - the dughter of Yahya's brother Abdurachman, whom I met in Selibaby. Did I also meet her during that trip? They never introduced her to me, just seemed to assume that I knew who she was. I'm still unclear as to why, although Mauritanians are notorious (to me, anyway) for failing to give crucial information about people.

Anyway, Bambi is sweet and beautiful in her crisp, sparkling boubous. She also speaks some French. It is clear that she is not from Kankossa...
