I wake up...in a bed. I look around, and find that the nomadic tribe of the Fulani had found me blacked out, and treated me. (I also realize I had missed one more day, due to my black out, which I apologize for.) Although I can't understand their native language, I guess they are beckoning for me to rest, as they too, can tell I am very ill. After resting for a while, I try my best to explain that I NEED to survive on my own. They show me the way to Mali, after mentioning it, and I thank them and leave. After passing by large escarpements, or steep cliffs, I finally reach Mali. I await by the destined checkpoint for the helicopter's arrival.
I, Julian Sul, will attempt to trek through the scorching Saharan Desert, the rainy southwest corner of Niger, into the rugged hills of the northeast area of Mali. I will do this all in 2 weeks, but it won't be easy. I will face many external and internal dangers of Africa, such as deadly diseases, wild animals, and perphaps rebellious tribes.

Day 13: Rescued...Almost?
I wake up...in a bed. I look around, and find that the nomadic tribe of the Fulani had found me blacked out, and treated me.
