5 March 2001 – Mali

Staying With the Dogons

We have arrived in the Dogon region of Mali. We had an unbelievable day touring Djenne, the mud mosque, and Monday is market day as well. The scenery has been spectacular. We have lots of photos and text to follow when we hit a city to transmit from. We also met up with Michael Palin again in Djenne. We are changing our plans slightly, we will visit Dogon tomorrow and then head toward Timbuktu on Wednesday. We are staying with the Dogons tonite.
