Packing music



Here's a gorgeous tune from Dakar's famous Orchestre Baobab, named after Amadou Bamba, the founder of the Mouride Sufi brotherhood which dominates Senegalese politics, culture, and markets.

Blake! Ah, tu parles Francais? Tres bien! (I like to pretend I speak French...it's even better when I'm drunk.) Have fun writing your blog. I expect a full multimedia extravaganza. Happy and safe travels. Learn a lot, and be grateful for this wonderful life you've carved out for yourself. And as they say, wear sunscreen. See you when you get back!
