Leila and I had a romantical Valentine’s Day weekend in Segou, a small town on the Niger River just four unairconditioned away from Bamako. I got so dehydrated on the ride home, I’m not sure I’ve peed since we’ve been back. Enough about my bladder (Probably what you’re thinking: no, Julie, there’s never enough about your bladder) and more about Segou. It was super cute with lots of great stuff…crafts, good food, fun hotel mosquito nets, live music, postcard perfect scenery and a lot of me turning to Leila and being like, “We’re so in Africa. This is awesome.”
