Hi Nancy
Yep We'll be back to do the TESFA trek one day and add Djibouti and Eritrea onto the trip as well. That sounds fantastic and we wished we had time to do it this time.
Herbl, congrats on having some pics on display. Do you have a website to show some of your work? I'd love to see it. I agree totally with your views on all the places that you have mentioned.
Nancy if you do go to Mali one day, time it for the festival au desert in Jan which was a highlight. There are pics on my website if you want some encouragement.
