Segou. January 23-24, 2011.



From Mopti, another long drive to Segou, but Segou is such a wonderful relief from the filth of our last stop. Segou is still dusty and dirty, but much cleaner. The market is colorful and busy and people are working hard. Segou is on the Niger and is the sun sets, the light is magic and colorful. The small river port in Segou is extremely busy. Men, women and children are packed into long river boats while other women and children with all sorts of objects and bowls on their heads wade through the shallow waters to load the boats with the goods that the Bobo nomads will need as they continue on their search to set up camp on their next stop.
