Segou, about 150 miles NE from Bamako, was the first stop. 

We walked around visiting a art exhibit, markets, and well, just generally taking pictures.  Dinner was at the Hôtel Le Djoliba where we ended up staying on our way back down to Bamako – cheaper and SO much nicer than the place we stayed that night.

Door to the art gallery – the color was just cool.

Cooking pots stacked at the market – joli ye? (how much?)

Various sacks of animal bits, chalk, beans used for "medicine" or
talismens.  Not sure I would want some of this stuff hanging off my
neck – I don't know, maybe a lucky crocodile necklace might have come
in handy later in the day…

Fortification of beer and pizza was required to face more bargaining madness….

Just thought this was a cool image…

Diggin' the cow horns decorations on this house….

Snuck up on Marie to take this great picture…

Port shot and unfortunately the last with my D-60 because moments after
taking this picture, I, without my croc talisman, bit it hard and fell
down this embankment….killing my camera in the process.  I did have
my point and shot on hand but the picture quality for the rest of the
trip sorta sucked.
