Day 5 Chirstmas

Christmas morning. Santa still found us even though we were in the middle of nowhere!

Another welcoming group waiting for us at a village.

We got stuck in the reeds because the wind was blowing so hard. It took awhile to get out and had us a little worried for a while.
At a village just outside of Timbuktu we stopped to visit a market.
Our guide told us it was unsafe to take a picture of the guys with swords. Of course Toby took that as a challenge. They guy with the teal turban on the right has a sword.

We landed in Timbuktu and caught up on some laundry while enjoying a relaxing afternoon.

Christmas dinner!!

I can't believe you spent Christmas in Timbuktu. That's such a funny thing to say! We love all the pictures - although it makes us all a little jealous. Keep them coming. . .
