The women are difficult to get to know, due to language - girls don't get sent to school, generally - and are usually TOO BUSY - out to get water from the well, babies on their backs, getting food and cooking, etc
Even before 10 they have to help out! Carrying their siblings etc
The ones I did meet working (in the hotels, etc) were wonderful! Have to speak French tho!
As a man you will never get to talk to women in those countries anyway!
The men treated me with utmost respect everywhere!
LOL even got a phone call from one of them from Timbuctu today
So glad you got the AfroCubism CD! Isn´t it great?!
More pics to comeComment

Love the Fulani! Amazing people!
No, not her, she died in December, but most probably looked something like that in her younger days

The (main) market in Bamako, great to stroll around (and do some bargaining)
