We are still in Bamako (the capital city), we will be leaving for Kadiolo on Tuesday most likely. Today we went to an English Sunday school in the morning. It was held at an international school (an english speaking school). Ernie said that the school is very expensive, about the equivilant of $20,000 per child per year. For lunch we went to a Chinese restaurant. what is strange about Bamako is that you can walk past several run down shacks and a few steps later walk into a nice restaurant. There is a very diverse mixture of social economics, as opposed to in America where you would find an upperclass area of town and a lower class one and they would be very separate.
Since it was Sunday, we didn't go out a whole lot today. For the afternoon we sat around and played some cards and just relaxed. This evening we went to an English church service. The church was composed of local missionaries, Bible translators, and some locals that moved here from English speaking countries.
That's pretty much all that happened today. Tomorrow should prove to be a little more exciting.
