from Mali

Greetings from a v.hot Bamako - it's nearly 40° and the air full of saharan sand. Having a great time, been living in mud houses where people wash their pots and everything else in the river now we are in Bamako a crazy traffic filled metropolis with more street sellers per square foot than you would believe possible.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Dad and I'll give you a ring this week when we get back. Love to all. Julian
