Djenne




The journey from Djenne to Bamako was long but well worth it. The mosque was rebuilt in 1907 out of mud bricks and it is absolutely stunning! We were there on market day so we walked through the absolute craziness in 110 degree heat. Brain sizzling... Bought a blanket from a local co op and met an awesome English couple who decided to join us on our journey all the way up to Tomboctou!! The town was very dusty and the architecture of the houses was primitive yet pristine. All in all it was an amazing day!
