Today was a relaxing day.
We took our time to have breakfast at the Mission. The weather was beautiful and the patio of the mission so peaceful.
The we walked most of the morning, getting lost in the big !market and the little streets. We slowly made our way to the Artisanat to go say Hi to Amadou and buy a few souvenirs and stuff. We spent quite a bit of time there, just roaming around watching every single artisan work at its craft. It was so entertaining.
On the way back we went to the train station to inquire about trains Kaye. They are much cheaper, yet absolutely not reliable and slightly slower. So why not?! Sounds like a fun way to get to Kaye. My plan is to get on the Saturday evening train...assuming the train does show up at all. Let's hope so. I don't want to spend much more time in Bamako.
We got back to the mission right on time before the storm started pouring all over the city. And what a storm. A tropical one, so not that long, but definitely brutal.
Once the weather was back to sort of normal, we headed out for an early dinner and to get on line to sync my emails. Such a long time since I last connected.
The city is always so peaceful and cool after the storm. Much more enjoyable.
Tomorrow another slow day and on Friday I am supposed to go to the orphanage to help out the director rework some issues and strategy. I can't wait.
Til then...buenas noches.
