Ah, the smell of the African air! Arrived safely, on time and we all got our luggage - quite a feat! After the mahem getting the luggage we were off to the guest house and crashed for a few hours. The goal was to be 'on the road' by 8am for the 5 hour drive to Koutiala. And again, luckily it's a paved road - though in many areas the driver must navigate the potholes, goats, sheep, cows, donkey carts and motos. Lunch was in Segou - a good place to have fish (from the Niger river).
Dan & Marcie had us over for dinner, which was great... but I soon found myself drifting off. The jet lag was overwhelming... which is why I haven't been able to start this journey blog. The next evening, we lost power in the guest house... so no wireless. In Africa, you must be flexible and adaptable... anything can happen. I'll catch up with today's great events in the next blog.
