I'm about to set off to the interior of Mali. I'll take a short trip to Ségou (about 1/3 of the way to Mopti) so that my longer trip to Mopti isn't ridiculously long. From Mopti, depending on the status of the river transportation, I'll either get a boat immediately to Timbuktu (about a 3 day trip), or I'll more likely hang around and go to the Djenné Monday market outside their mud mosque.
All of these places have internet, but none are well connected. So I will most likely be out of email contact and may be out of blog contact. I'm also expecting no ATMs so I have withdrawn enough cash to get me through the rest of Mali.
I'll be OK. This is a very safe area of Africa. No news is good news. ;-) I'll be having an interesting (if not fun) time.
