There I was just surfing the web....on Google....doing a "Kiffa Bead" search....and Lo and Behold up pops this travel site in Mauritania.....They had a cute little article about the Kiffa Beads, (many misspellings), most of the info looked similar to what's been published somewhere else on the web.....as I scrolled down the page a familiar sight surprised me.....25 Kiffa bead photos, which I had posted on the BCN over the years....Some I had given permission for David at ATB to use and the funny thing is the name is still on the Pics with the copyright notice....this site is not using these as educational material but, it seems to me, solely for the purposes of commercial exploitation....in a sense I feel honored to have an indigenous company use my images in their home country....maybe they will cut me a travel deal???

I see some beads from my website too (africanbeadsandmemory.com). I don't worry about that. I am rather honored.

"Thenk you for contact us" ....this was the reply when I dropped them a little line (not mean mind you).
Boy will the Vacationers be surprised when they find out that most of these beads are actually somewhere in the Arizona desert, a little distance from the Sahara...... :)
