Got into Bamako and promptly met 3 DoD dudes who want to pick my Peace Corps brain about their projects doing 'humanitarian assistance'. No problem. We are off to Bancoumana and Djoliba tomorrow; Koulikoro the day after, and Kita on Friday. Music at the Hogon Friday and assorted dinners this week following our site visits, which are day trips fortunately. Apparently there is a new Lebanese restaurant, the Ouragan, near the Salaam. And yes, internet in our rooms totally rules.
Getting in everything (dinners, Halloween, shopping, favors to friends, flag making for Office Olympics) will be tricky but a fun challenge. On the bus into town the other guy was a random friend of a woman who works with Salif Keita who we don't really like. He's doing a fact-finding mission to see if we could run a T1 cable undersea to Ghana and supply West Africa with super fast internet. I love Bamako.
