Postcards from Timbuktu

No alt provided
alt text
I've done this a bunch of times now, but always to friends. This time I decided to send myself one for fun last December. These days it takes a lot longer to get to where it has to go as Mali is in the midst of a bad civil war. So the postcards are trucked or camelled or bused or however they can to Senegal and then plopped in envelopes for the final leg.

The whole process is helping out a team of now unemployed tourist guides in Timbuktu, they hand write the cards and set them on their way. Because it takes so long I had kind of forgotten about it and so it was a cool surprise when it arrived. If you want to partake and asist you can do so here https://www.postcardsfromtimbuktu.com/en-au

I would be careful in this age of various ebolas, and hantaviruses. Even the saliva used on old school stamps could be a vector. Really.
