The Dance :)

So, this afternoon, Sarah and I went out into the streets of Bamako. When we hit a main road, we noticed lots of commotion and loud music coming from across the street...so, we crossed the road. As we approached, to our surprise, there were lots of litte kids dancing. After the kids, then there were lots of women and men dancing. We just stood on the outside and observed, but the annoucer all of a sudden, got on the mic and said in Bambara, " Hey Toubabous, come join us...you dance?" Sarah and I looked at each, and just laughed...in the past, whenever we have tried to dance the way they dance, it ends up being more entertainment for others. :) A source of amusement...so we shook our heads and smiled, and then just watched:) Maybe someday soon I will make my dancing debut to the Malians, but watch out...Mali will never be the same after that day! : )
