Africa is a place of walking by the way.....I lost 20 pounds doing just that while I was there..... There's something to be said about a seeing rotting cow carcass or a burning pile of garbage..... Some of the things that affect you, some of the things you think about while on one of the journeys you make in these streets- North American life is desperately trying to seep it's way in here, and it's difficult for the natives to find a way to accept-or get rid of it........

| Village of Sofouroulay. | | |

This small village has the merit of being probably the cleanest I've ever seen on my travels in Africa. The streets are regularly swept, the houses painted and a real welcome from the village elders under their tree. We were asked by the Imam if we wanted to visit the new mosque, that had only recently been finished. The village chief was proud to tell us that every person in the village helped and only took 47 days to erect. This was quite an event, us being "non-believers" but went off very well. We were allowed to visit the prayer rooms, seperate for the men and women, and also allowed on the roof. The village is situated on the left coming from Sevaré , back towards Djenné after about 10 kms. A naturally friendly place warrants a visit. Don't forget your cola nuts !! |
