Eid al-Adha

This Muslim holiday commemorates Abraham's sacrifice of a ram and the end of the Hajj. We traveled to Kano to see the Durbar that occurs at the same time too. More on that in subsequent postings. Looking through my photos this morning, I decided I liked this one. Seen alongside the road a couple of days before the holiday. This guy was showing off his fine cattle and we all enjoyed a laugh as he sat and even stood on this fine beast. A few days later the cattle were mostly gone, probably to a family feast.

Eid Mubarak!
