We got off the bus for a few minutes for a bathroom break.
The vent in our bus was a little broken but I fixed it with a coke can.
The empty bus during a short break.
We finally got to the Hotel Falais in Bandiagara after traveling for 12 hours.
Waiting to be picked up by a SUV we hired to take us to village.
We made it to village and we needed to go do laundry so we headed to the pump.

Great to see the pictures, Jerry has a pretty cool outfit. Making do with what is available sure is the theme expressed with the coke can. Jody told us last night had some communication with Jerry by phone and photos would be coming soon! Looked like Ashley with the laundry basket on her head. Oh to conveniences! (Packers are on but not watching.) Have a great week. Love Barb
ReplyDeleteHi Joe,Ashley and Parents,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see more pictures!!!! Mom and dad you fit wright in and still hanging in there I see. I love your outfit dad!!!! I would give anything to see Ben in an outfit like
that:) I bet Joe and Ashley are showing you all the "ropes" of Africa life style. Looks like everyone is having fun and arriving to their destination safely. I like the picture of you walking to do laundry. Like I said, Mom and dad, you fit wright in. Ashley, your so talented, you will have to show me how that is done. I'm also happy that you and your mom can spend this time together.
Enjoy the rest of your visit and we are excited to hear all about it.
Love,
Jody,Ben and Anna
Ok, Ok,
