I finally made it to Timbuktu. It is a small town in central Mali, founded by a woman named Buktu who had a well at which the caravans crossing the Sahara stopped. In the local Tuareg language, a well is a "Tim", thus Buktu's well is "Tim Buktu." One photo is of me with a Tuareg at the tim and one of Timbuktu's three mosques.
Not knowing what else to do with my travel journal writings and musings, I have started my blog at kriegertravels.blogspot.com. Let me know what you think.
