thank you! ceri and i really like burkina so far. it is much more peaceful than accra and the people are more friendly as well as less aggressive. unfortunatly there is litle to no cell phone reception so i dont think youll be able to get through. i also forgot to bring my cell phone charger so ive turned it off until i get back to ghana.
everything here is very french; people are sitting on the streets drinking wine (albeit in islamic garb) and everyone drives a moped or bicycle, keeping the wide streets relatively empty of the vechicle congestion so characteristic of accra.
i slept for most of the ride here, making the 29 hour sojourn more peaceful and restorative than tedious. watching the lush tropical forests of coastal ghana change into dry savanna served as my entertainment when not watching the atrociously bad ghanain soap operas, usually featuring clergy as protaganists, they played on the bus.
tomorrow we ride to dori and on tuesday were off to the sahel desert via gorom gorom. ill email you when i get back to ouaga (probably friday).
more love than anything,kalei
