The first thing you notice driving down the street in Ouaga (as called by the locals, pronounced "wa-ga") is motos (mopeds). They are everywhere and come from any and all directions. The main streets have separate moto lanes, which by no means stops motos from coming through the car lane in the wrong direction. This picture is a great example of your average moto rider with (1) no helmet, and (2) a baby wrapped on her back. It is seriously impressive the gracefulness with which the Burkinabes (particularly the women) ride their motos, always with perfect posture, and able to comfortably tie a baby on, or carry things on their heads (yes, also while on a moving moto), or strap any number of live animals (usually chickens, and sometimes also a goat here and there) to the moto itself. Motos are not limited to any particular group. Everyone rides motos from businessman in suits to young couples dressed up and ready for date night, and families in their Sunday best to your average fruit stand merchant with a large boxes of produce tied on.
