ok here are some pics from our dogon hike.. it was amazing, so beautiful... We spent three days hiking around Dogon country, Dogon country is so unlike the rest of Mali. We visited the cliff villages which are way up these cliffs, there's usually only one water source and that's down the cliff, so women have to make a hike up and down a cliff everyday just to get water and becuase they live in cliffs there's few latrines in the village because tehy can't dig holes, they have to build them above ground. Also the kids were really annoying because Dogon country is sooo touristy. I had never seen so many white people in Mali, granted I am in Sikasso, the least touristy city in Mali. Ok so it's back to site for a week....
I didn't take any pics in Senegal, I was too busy ;)

Hey Mich , Happy belated B-Day. Tell Emily I said hi. What life changing experience this must be. Dogon Looks very interesting I am amazed at the way those dwellings are built right into the cliffs. The labor it took must have been tough and intense. It reminds me of the Anasazi of the southwest. Its a wonderful thing you are doing this while you are young. The memories you will carry the rest of your life..I envy you. Well sweetheart you have a great time with Emily and stay out of harms way..I think of you all the time and Love you very much... ta ta Roger

Thanks for posting pics, Michele...
Wow! To think that you are there...
So ancient...
I had this wild thought that we can all rent a bus and you can be our tour guide, Michele!! Imagine, all the people who love you on the same bus grooving in Mali! Sounds FUN and possible...
Much love to you and Em...
