it's a bird, it's a plane....

Shawn has been featured on the blog before as a local merchant, street barber and cat mother.  I was alarmed to discover that he is also an amateur roofer when I spotted him like this on Friday afternoon. He was easy to spot actually as we were almost the only two people on the street with all of the men at mosque.

With a little questioning I learned that he visited hospital emergency rooms during Friday prayers several times as a child seeking medical treatment for injuries due to misadventure- or perhaps it would be more accurate to say "injuries resulting from poor supervision during weekly prayers". He has promised me that he will not undertake any more areal projects on Friday afternoons while I am in the country.

Ever the salesman, Shawn also tried to sell magic carpet rides to any tourists who looked up and noticed him sitting on the roof line above.  Fortunately for everyone, there were no takers.
