| During my trip,
I was able to send some reports to friends and colleagues
via an email mailing list from various Internet access points
along the way. These reports are accessible via
the links to the right.
Please note that, as mentioned in Report 9, I have resisted the temptation to edit the text of these reports so as not to disturb the feeling of immediacy, which I tried to put into them as I was composing them. |
