In Dakar

It should be 4 in the morning for us but it is 11 a.m. instead. I am giving Zach some time to relax because he is tired. Our hotel is very simple with foam mattress bed and a shower with no apparent nozzle but still a trickle of water. This computer is very old and slow and has a french keyboard. I can speak french but cant type it. Just outside our door are women with babies on back and eggs on head. Horsedrawn wagon with kid selling salt. Kids with no shoes. beautiful fqbrics on the women. No seatbelts in cars but no need because we are in africa (their words). Mostly cinderblock buildings and many in abandoned construction phase. Mostly dirt roads. Customs was easy and everyone is very friendly. Typing very slow. Love being in Africa again and wonder if it is all too overwhelming for Zach on 2 hours of sleep. But so far so good. More later when I can.
