ANOTHER NOTE FROM DG
News flash! Elisabeth just checked in by $$$ phone to say that she arrived in Timbuktu after 6 days of nowhere (no electricity, at least). She will have about 4 days there, likely without internet access, though she says that her guide says that she might be able to rig up a wifi moment long enough to email a few more days for me to post, then she is off to Mopti, and then she winds up her Mali adventure. I had the good sense to not mention the news from Egypt. :)
