Sénégal...

...seems so far far away.

ma vie:

Life is fun? Well, life is life. Nothing to report. Health and wealth just the same.

No jury duty this past week. I was thrilled.

But, I'll have to tell them every time I go out of town = me not happy.

Ah... Sénégal ...I can dream can't I? I more I read, the more I want to go. Very diverse culturally. Rich music. Known for art, cloth... Biologically rich from the Sahel in the North and east to mangrove swamps and manatees in the southern Casamance.

If I can get a friend to go...

Especially one whose French is better than mine! Need to call Dustin...

May be too short notice to go this November (October to January seems best.)

A month might do it. Ndiage ndiaye (white 30 seat Mercedes) and sept-place (seven seat Peugeots) go most everywhere.

Money? Dakar could be expensive but the Casamance is reasonably cheap. I'm not sure I could keep it to $30/day but $40 might do it.

So, I dream.

In the mean time I do the routine: eat at the Senior center for $3, edit and put photos on line, shop at the market (lovely oyster mushrooms today), drink coffee.

Last night was First Friday. Saw some friends. Glad I saw Acton. He makes scraps into lamps. Saw one that looked like a ram to me; someone else saw a uterus; therefore, the "Ram's Uterus" (not his name for it, but mine). Need to get a photo up on facebook!
