Day 39: Back to Kedougo

We left early from Segou and got back to our campement at Kedougo where we had stayed two nights before, and relaxed for the rest of the day. The only significant event was the watching of the Senegal vs. Mali World Cup Qualifying soccer match. Although Senegal won easily, they were unable to gain first place in their group because the first place team, Togo, won as well. Because this was the last game, Senegal was stuck in second place and thus, short of a World Cup berth. The Senegalese were all pretty unhappy with that…I told them it was okay, my team (the Sox) had finished their season just the night before. We’re all in the same boat….kind of.
