BOUNDIALI DAY 245 243km

MAN TO BOUNDIALI       2-1-25

After breakfast with Christophe and Charles I headed North, Charles East and Christophe stayed put for another day.
Was a pleasant ride through a beautiful forest with huge trees and the road was in good shape all the way to Odienne.

Continued on to Boundiali and was able to see another dance.

N’Goron is a multi-faceted Senoufo celebration that acts as the initiation rite for young Senoufo virgins.  The ceremony begins with the arrival of young Senoufo men who dance and perform ahead of the arrival of the virgins.  The overseer of the ceremony is usually a local man who alternates between cracking a large whip to keep the crowd in control, and dancing on an open fire, including placing live embers in his mouth!

















    Chicken and rice dinner.
