Terrou-Bi Dakar

... my classes, I know, I was a horrible student yesterday. Of course I felt bad about it too because I hate missing class. I just could not pass up time to soak up the vitamin D I have been missing since before we made it to cold Spain. I sat outside from 1030 in the morning until 330 yesterday afternoon, only getting up for lunch. It was glorious. However, that also means that I did not get any homework done, which is obviously not good since I am already behind. Today though ...

... I just laughed because he knows me too well already! We all gathered on deck seven where the pool and snack bar is to watch and participate in the Neptune Day ceremonies. The captain painted himself totally green! The initiation consisted of first getting fish guts and goo poured on your head then moving on to kissing a fish, then kissing King Neptune's ring, followed by jumping in the slim pool, kissing another fish ...

... s de leurs familles, le plus souvent par d'autres africains, pour être envoyés à l'autre bout du monde, comme n'importe quelle marchandise (qualité mesurée par poids, constitution physique et dentition), orphelin de toute dignité, bref, l'horreur du génocide duquel on veut désormais, dans la France libre, faire croire qu'il a du positif dedans et enseigner plutôt ce côté là aux enfants. MES COUILLES ! En tout cas je me suis régalé à Gorée, j'ai même eu droit ...

... estado deserta o dia inteiro e assim iria continuar até ao fim do dia. Daquelas bombas dos filmes americanos no Alabama com os rolos de feno a passarem levados pelo vento e o empregado sentado com um macacão emporcalhado e palito na boca. Aqui o empregado estava estendido na esteira ao lado da bomba propriamente dita, num pequeno corredor de sombra garantido pela cobertura metalica do proprio quê ! Pedi autorização para lhe imitar e ferrei uma ...

... food, drinks the lot! And gave us cold red wine... yup for some reason they serve it cold here not too sure why! Went out for a meal with my family as my house mate left to go home last weekend. Nice to have a salad and some vegetables- an absolute luxury here really!!! Restaurzant was really nice and it was goodto treat them for once and do something nice for them as they are always so generous and lovely. On Sat headed to lac rose and swam there ...

... and loved the plastic friut and veg i had, she tried to bitez it and cut it up it was adorable. Went for an indian meal Friday evening with Brighton and her mates then bar hopping, was a laugh and am now in love with the French Institut... yummy wine and food... Sunday I went to the IFAN museum in centre ville which was pretty good just had a chilled day wandering round a more calm Dakar. Love to you all hope you are all good xxxxxxxx

... sumptuous, once probably almost grey, dusk-caked upholstery spread thin across the exposed springs stretched between the wooden frame of the of the homemade back-seat. It's only when you hit the first pot-hole that you really realise what you've done - and that this is one of the many with apparently no shock-absorbers, no suspension, and no air in the tyres. Your whole spinal column feels like it might shoot through the floor of the taxi, and at exactly the same time as ...

... dead chickens, and "everything in garish plastic" stalls next to huge piles of feathers, and vegetable stalls spattered with blood from the butchery next door ..... i scarcely exaggerate. In fact the butchery was extraordinary ... it was only just short of an abattoir, since i guess the animals were slaughtered in the road outside ... but the STATE of the poor carcasses. I have never seen so many demi-animals, all in various ...

... steer you wrong, as they sometimes do. I'm still ****** off. I respect my readers more than that, both of you. I'll tell you the truth, even if it hurts (sales). I won't play up to false political correctness that does you no good when you're standing on the side of the tracks on the edge of town at five in the morning without a clue, without a brew, all strung out on her or him. No, I'll tell you the truth, even if it causes ...

... co-traveller, David, who we've now been travelling with for 10 days) we made our escape.  And here we are now in St Louis, about an hour south of the border.  It is a pleasant place, without the stifling heat of Mauritania (although it is never less than 30 degrees, even in the middle of the night, but the highs of 38 degrees are much better than those of 47+ in Mauriatnia).  We took a tour of the town yesterday, and this afternoon went to the beach.   Our overall ...
