We set of for Touba early in the morning to visit the Mosque, which was very beautiful. Not only did I find this interesting but i really liked how the Mosque had three of their leaders--who added onto the Mosque over the years--burial sites within the Mosque itself. Each chamber was a different color: green, purple, and blue. It is tradition that women do not wear pants only skirts.We had to take our shoes off and OMG the marble floors were hot. When I looked around, I noticed that the people of Touba were used to the hot marble floors. I suppose it is not surprising because they are used to the weather, and all that comes with it, due to he fact that they were raised here. We visited a Marabout who, religious wise, is well respected in the Muslum community and in the works of the Qur'an. Men walked in, got on one knee and kissed his hand; this man has so much respect. I only see things like this in movies.
