Alex taking a break in the shade. It was hot!

Arabic writing on the side of a copper encased tomb

The habitation of a nomdic herding tribe

Gravestones

A vulture coming in for landing

A handicapped woman resting in the shade of the mosque

We visited the Islamic library, filled with dusty volumes of eastern literature

Belgian prayer rugs, enough for 5,000 people to pray

Sunset over St. Louis

Gathered vultures around the horse carcass

The purification spickets at the mosque
