Souvenirs bought in Burkina Faso

When I visited the markeplace, I found a variety of interesting souvenirs, including: wooden statuettes
bronze masks, jewellery, fabrics, blankets, leather, goods, and craftworks such as chess sets and ashtrays. I set aside my financial worries and bought one of each.

Scenery in Quagadougou

The scenery in Quagadougou is very pleasing. Walking through the streets of Quagadougou, I can see dirt roads and palm trees around the area. In a marketplace, a child is selling beautiful paintings as well as traditional clothing on wooden hangers.

Sports in Burkina Faso

This evening, I went to a local soccer match in Quagadougou. The home team won the match. The home team won by trois points.
Soccer is one of Burkina Faso's most popular sports. In 1998, Burkina Faso placed 4th in the Africa Nation's Cup tournament. Burkina Faso's team is nicknamed "The Stallions".
