I’m in Libya!!

I’m here and I’m delighted! Much more Westernized than I expected. Similar energy to other Third World countries done in a Libyan style. Frontier feeling. Nice group of Brits – 7 of us plus 2 guides and a security person, although he wouldn’t intimidate me if I wanted to cause trouble. Kinda like the 2 guys with the sling shot in Guatemala who said they were protecting Doug and me several years ago.

Thrilling when we flew in over the Mediterranean and I saw Africa for the first time. An exotic land out of a storybook.

We walked around the medina – old town- before dinner. Beautiful mosques and my beloved arches everywhere.

Tomorrow evening we fly south into the Sahara and then camp in the desert the next 4 nights. I know I’m going to have fun!!!

I’ll write again when we return. I am in good hands.
