Paula has crossed the border into Mali
January 24th, 2007
A brief sat phone call from Paula that she is now in Mali and if present progress is maintained will reach timbuktu in 2 weeks. She is in remote territory but managed to buy a sheep to celebrate the border crossing. It is presumed the sheep provided valuable nutrition rather than companionship. Her position is 16 55'N, 5 35' which puts her maybe 120K into Mali. She sounds in good spirits.
If international parcel post works, replacement electronics (again) will be in Timbuctu to enable Paula to run satellite emails.
