Full writeup in a couple of days, but suffice it to say we were unsatisfied with our trip and did not wish to pay the full amount agreed to. Our tour operator first threatened, then took us to the police station where we were threatened with jail time on several occasions if we did not pay. We were finally let go without paying an extra cent. Principle is a wonderful thing.

Today we're headed to Kayes. Here's the forecast!

Any shea butter requests must be received in the next 24 hours in order to be filled. Please order by the demi-kilo.

In other news, our kodak camera departed this world during our safari. Rigor mortis set in quickly due to the high temperatures. During the eulogy it was agreed that our little camera led a useful if not unfocused life. Due to this untimely departure, our blog will be without pics for the foreseeable future unless Sam gets his act together and posts some earlier photos to jephirpics. Off to Mali we go!
