Hi all-
After an adventurous 2 weeks travelling the north/west africa region,
I'm back in Sanniquellie and hard at work. Expect some postings
shortly with a few stories and such of the experience.
Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, it was nice to be thought of!
A quick quiz...
Which of the following did Taj do to celebrate his 29th birthday?
a) Wake up on a camel blanket under the stars in the Western Sahara
b) Ride in the back of a pickup for 3 hours through a blasted, barren
plateau wearing a Boubou and Tierag due to the 43C blowing wind and
sand
c) Wade unsuccesfully through bustling Nouakchott markets in search of
a not-to-be-found t-shirt featuring their flag
d) Get into a heated argument with a hotel proprieter in which neither
party spoke the other's language
e) Wander through 100m sand dunes perched atop a friendly (if smelly)
and surprisingly comfortable camel
f) Have a spot of Mauritanian tea with an amiable local
g) All of the above.
Cheers, everyone...
ciao

Well, quite obviously it's (g), though I'm still wondering how you managed to bring the camel with you on the pickup. Perhaps you left the camel behind, sorrowfully looking at your receding form, shedding an extra-dramatic desert tear.
Poor camel.
still waiting for more stories
