I sit up on my mat and put on my glasses. The moon has fallen and the stars are bright and oh-so-close, O'Ryan's Belt within arm's reach. She was right, my stomach ...

http://susanrsahara.blogspot.com/2008/10/velo.html
Susan in the Sahara. Friday, October 17, 2008. I have a bike, finally. Our bikes were caught in customs, I guess, but mine arrived at my door Wednesday evening. A total surprise, brand new, shiny and. pink. I've never had a new fancy bike, and this is a nice Trek bike. But it is a girl's bike, a concept I don't really understand. Maybe after biking in a skirt I'll appreciate a "girl's" bike, I'll get back to you on that. Why pink, is my real question? Womanyou crack me up. I love it! Loved the bicycle - ...

On Air in Mali. Weighing babies, eating beans, and tea hopping as a peace corps volunteer in mali. the adventures of samouhan daou. Friday, April 24, 2009. Politics are heating up in the village! Manchuré supports the party ADEMA - for justice, for solidarity. Since just about everyone is a member of ADEMA, the election results - elections are Sunday - shouldn't be too surprising.
