This is a little video of our drive up to our Pays Dogon Adventure.  We went to Segou, then to Djenne, Mopti, Pays Dogon and back to Bamako.  It will give you a good sense of the 12.5 hr drive there (including road quality) and back.  The music playing is Ali Farka Toure – his Red recording, played from a worn, very dusty cassette tape is raw blues.  It was the perfect soundtrack for our journey!

Bonus Feature:

We stalled while driving through a similar small village….cars aren't the most reliable in Mali….. but the villagers came out to help Paul push the car so the driver could pop the clutch and we were on our way again….
