Boubacar

This is Boubacar, our personal fruit and vegetables salesman:


He comes to our house occasionnally and shows what he has and we say what we want. It has happened a couple of times that I've been alone in the house when he comes. Lucky for him, because I'm the worst when it comes to bargaining. But he's happy when he leaves. I found him quite charming and original, so it's hard to stay "firm" with him and say "oh no, 2000 CFA is too expensive for these carrots". I just say "ok"... (I do bargain a litle though, but I guess not even half of what I could). As he is old and goes by bike from the other side of the river (in the heat!), it makes me even more easy with him.
