Timbuctoo (Timbuktoo, Timbucktu)

Timbuctoo is located in the middle of the Sahara desert. It is found by the Niger river and is home to 10,000.  Many storks and bats live in and on the houses but most people don't do anything about it. Most people in Timbuctoo are Negros, but there are a few Arabs and few French, for it is a French colony.  The men in Timbuctoo wear white veils around their faces until they die. Their houses are made out of mud and will last quite a few years. Unless it rains. The people belive that their people come back from the dead in the shape of a crow, so they build these houses for crows to sit on.
