Somewhat to everyone's surprise we landed safely at the Mopti airport. Since Steven and Rachel (met on the river boat) were on the same flight and knew the way we walked the hour to the Sevoré Peace Corps house. After claiming a bed we jumped on a bâché into Mopti. With the plane arrival there were tons of toubabs (white tourists) around and thus lots'o hassles, and everyone mostly unwilling to bargain from their outrageous prices. Strangely the prices in Timbuktu seemed much better. After dealing with the obnoxious venders in the market my lack of sleep hit me and I crashed pretty hard. Tried coffee at the Dogon Patisserie - didn't help, tried cola and food still didn't help. Completely exhausted headed back to the PC house and packed a small day bag for tomorrow's Dogon country trek. Spent the rest of the day trip planing and reading, and then wandered out for a dinner of street food (egg sandwich).
