Lazy Bamako

Happy Halloween! I’m certainly not celebrating it here. I already look weird enough, I don’t need to dress up to look like a monster.

Bamako continues to be relaxing. Yesterday, I got my bank errands done all by myself in the morning, kicked around the artisan market for a while, then went to Restaurant Central to meet Salif for lunch. In the early afternoon, I went back to SIL, took a nap, then spent the rest of the day half being productive, half wasting time on the internet. I thought I was supposed to see this other Fulbrighter, but she never called me. That’s okay, though, because just staying in was nice too.

I slept in until almost 8 today (can you believe it?!), ironed some clothes, ate some yogurt, and am now working on my grammar some more. I may see Salif again today, or I may see one of two Fulbrighters, but I’m waiting to be contacted on all accounts. There’s a bakery down the road that I might walk to, because a croissant sounds pretty dang good. We’ll see where my laziness meter points to.

Tomorrow Kevin gets here! Just one more day.
