Here is an undated copy of a picture postcard from colonial days of Le Marche du Plateau, the closest market to our house where we often shop for vegetables and fruit. I took a picture of the way it looks today; what is there now is not new, but it doesn't appear to be the same building. The dressed up man with the suit and hat (although I think he looks barefooted) reflects the way the Congolese love to dress up and look smart today as well.

I came across your blog today while wondering if there are any other expat bloggers here. Anyway, I really enjoyed your pics- you've done a great job of capturing normal Brazzaville. My blog is mostly just pictures of Sam- though the US Embassy opening did have its moment. I'm glad you're here and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time. John and I (and Sam) leave March 30th and we'll be in Thailand next.
