http://circlingthebaobabs.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 30, 2006. Day 3: Riding in Mercedes. Cars on the Nouadibou street. N a fait le tour. And we fell into her arms after a scary overnight taxi ride. But this time, this first time, we only let go of our histories, how we’ve come to be, where we go or not go from here. Nouakshott garage before we left. I’ll leave the rest for another day. Tsilat riding the chariot. Posted by Michelle @ 4:30 PM. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. A word about our peace corps friends. I go to your mall! Me, Zach, and Dan.

Circling the Baobabs: February 2006
http://circlingthebaobabs.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2006. I don’t know what it is that makes us want to climb to high places, maybe it’s the way we seem to want to locate ourselves within a locale, to find out where we fit in the geography of a place.

But I managed to find ways to avoid going usually by finding a vendor closer by or asking someone else to pick me up something. Now with my thrice-weekly trek. And finall...

Tuesday, May 23, 2006. One day last month having lunch Chez Astou in the Medina. Posted by Michelle @ 9:48 AM. Tuesday, May 09, 2006. Trying to get the taxi started, but at least we're in Senegal again. We were two girls from Senegal making the trek alone, making it after a sejour. And where we go from here sitting in a car full of strangers who don't speak English and the strange feeling you get when just release something so private and hope that your assumption that no one speaks English is true.

Friday, January 27, 2006. Back and trying to make sense of it all. I got back to Dakar late Tuesday night after spending a difficult seven hours in the Casablanca airport thinking about changes and feeling pain, feeling alone, chewing my nails while slowly getting a headache from sipping Moroccan beer and taking in too much second-hand cigarette smoke. But there are things to look forward to and I think that's why I do it - keep coming and going. I'm already feeling the trill of new beginnings, makin...
