Kente – Timbuktu

COUNTRY:
Kente

DESIGN:
My neighbors had a daughter who served in the Peace Corps in Africa.  While there, she went on some side trips and when I heard she was headed to Timbuktu –  I was “over the moon” excited.  When I was a kid and someone wanted to emphasize how far and gone a place was — they would say  ” you mays well go to Timbuktu ”  I never realized that it was a “real place” at the time.  Their daughter got close (~ 380 km ) but not quite there.
