where to find bread, meat and fish in Nkc
All over Nouakchott you'll find bakeries where you can buy fresh bread in the style of the french baguette, due to the particular climate dry in the winter and humid during summer, this baguettes will go dry very fast in the open air or soggy when the humidity is high.
You'll find all over town, small tables made of scrap wood where you can by meat but this drawing is from the african market in the 5emé district, where sellers sell side by side with a cloud of flies hoovering around. The meat on sale is mostly camel, lamb and goat.
Fish is sold as well in the 5éme but this fish stall is in a big market close to the Moroccan mosque. Mauritanian waters are rich in fish and we can find from big fish like tuna to the "sardinella" from the sardine family.

Urban Sketchers is a network of artists around the world who draw the cities where they live and travel to. We have this blog, which is by invitation, and a 
If you want to start your own USk blog and connect all urban sketchers in your city, here's how to go about it:
1. Get a group of a minimum of 3 sketchers together interested in launching an USk blog for your city. 2. Send your names and e-mail addresses to urbansketchers at gmail dot com with a brief paragraph stating your interest in launching the blog and how you plan to keep it fresh and engage your community. You will be the blog's administrator and will be expected to run it following the rules of the group. A blog that becomes a showcase of drawings made from photos or doodles will obviously not fly. 3. We'll create the blog and give you full access to it. You'll be able to invite people to participate, personalize it with your own flag, add links and more. So, what are you waiting for? Get your fellow citizens out to sketch!
