This is the scene at the river crossing... the bridge is out upstream, so you have to wait for a ferry across. We waited two hours to load on to that military-style float on the other side of the river.
This hasn't happened all that often yet, but if he's taking a photo of me, I'll take a photo of him!
There was a lot of cattle on this ferry
Need shoes?
The edge of the market in Kayes. The cathedral is in the background on the left, constructed when Kayes was the French colonial capital.
A very typical scene in Mali
Walking away from the market to buy our bus ticket back to Bamako
This was an impressive boulevard, the road to Sengal
I'd like a Big Mac, large fry and a large Coke.
Pretty typical Malian strip mall
more shops, selling all sorts of things. Those trucks are lined up to cross the river... they are stuck for weeks, waiting to cross.
I'm not sure if this is a colonial building, but it's different architecture than other buildings in Kayes
They're lined up for miles on both sides of the river
This was really random, but I had to take a photo!
