Home sweet home: this is a photo of my house in M'Bout. The two openings lead to a veranda, and then there's three inner doors for the three inside rooms. Every Mauritanian house has some sort of hangar in their yard, which is the thatched roof, open-sided structure that you see in front of the house. We spend most of our time under the hangar because it's cooler and breezier than inside the house. At night, I sleep on the right side of the bamboo bed that you see on the right side of the picture, and the rest of my host family sleeps on the left.
