Sick in Dakar
I arrived in Dakar two weeks ago via plane from Mali and immediatetly became sick. (My new friend here, Angela, insists that I point out that more than likely I got sick in Mali. "Don't blame that on Senegal," she said) At first I was diagnosed with malaria. Seems that is always the first diagnosis for sickness with a fever. But it wasn't behaving like malaria, and lab tests show that I have dysentery.
Unfortunately I have not been able to see Senegal. I also have not been able to finish writing about Mali. But I will! As soon as I recover. Thanks to everyone who has been checking on me!

"When you travel, you experience in a very practical way the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes slowly, and most journeys you don't even understand the language people speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb . . . at the same time, since all things are new, you see only the beauty in them, and you feel happy to be alive." —Paulo Coehlo
