Bienvenue a Mali!

We made it!  We landed in Bamako at about 12:40am on Sunday, August 8th, and flew through customs, which is unusual for this airport (especially since I didn’t have my yellow fever certificate).  We were greeted by Seydou and Djibi, Michelle’s husband and nephew, threw our stuff on the roof of a Bashe (big ol' vanbus), and got to the Yeredon center around 3am.  Exhausted and sweaty we crashed and got to sleep until 3pm, just because we were so exhausted.
