So I compose this now from a little inn called The Dozing Camel in Bamako, Mali. My room is totally absolute minimum in its decore and outfitting… .yet what it needs in configuration flare and agreeable furniture, it makes up with numerous, numerous, numerous small tan bugs that Affection to slither all over me. They aren't especially special bugs… they kinda resemble the minimal ones that plague flour packs in warm places like southern California (I am almost certain I opened a sack down there once to discover these little animals). Yet at $25 a night, I would expect these fellows as my flat mates… .at minimum they don't make a ton
My room in Bamako!
There are actually 2 Beds in this room….the other one is broken though (go figure).
Floating above the bed is the mosquito net that I will most definitely use tonight since there is a bit of a Malaria problem in this country…in fact, I met a guy from Seattle today who is recovering from Malaria. And YES, I can anticipate your first question, he was taking his malaria pills. Those don’t guarantee a thing!
Ouch! One of those wretched little bugs just bit me! Lets hope that doesn’t swell to high heaven. His sniffer must have been bad cuz I have Deet on to the max :).
My departure from Senegal this morning was rather anti-climatic, which means I didn’t run into major plan altering snaffus just mild ones that still allowed me to get the airport on time (albeit the hotel owner did tell my driver to “go as fast as possible”….because of their doddling, not mine).
Fatima and Me!
Fatima took good care of me at my Dakar hotel.
The necklace I bought on Goree island. It is ebony and bronze (you may recall it was also spit shined by a sales woman). The tank I bought at Banana Republic….cotton, spring ’09 collection.
