Bamako, Mali

After quite a treacherous journey thru Guinea the New Year's was celebrated in Mali :)

The capital Bamako has a population of over 1.8 million and is estimated to be the fastest growing city in Africa. Still, postcards were a bit difficult to find! They seem to love monuments and sculptures over there...Sent on 2nd of January, 2008. I immediately fell in love with this stamp showing a Fulani woman!
