As we enjoyed our drum-driven welcome, we visitors/tourists had a little “forest” of our phone-cameras, blazing. (& yours truly’s camera-as-such)
Also blazing were at least as many phone-cameras in local residents’ hands.
Mutual curiosity and bonhomie were abundantly evident.
This little “event” proved enjoyable to all persons present, including those who were not photographing it.
Eventually, this series will focus on some very grand, venerable buildings.
For the next several chapters, however, it’ll focus on the walled city’s mostly-narrow streets and on local residents’ “daily life”.
