This blogger is here to facilitate communication between me and all my American Sweeties, whilst I am living in Burkina Faso, Africa. It is likely that I won't have frequent or cheap access to the internet in Burkina Faso, so this should make it easier to be in touch with all y'all, in one fell swoop. Please make comments and post stuff! It will warm the cockles of my heart to hear from you!!
Hey, this is Anne, Patrice's sister. I just got back from visiting her in BF. I just wanted to let everyone know that although she said she was going to switch to mass emails, she hasn't actually sent any, so you haven't been stricken from the list. If anybody's still reading this, I'll be happy to post my account of my trip there, but if not, then I won't.

Malcolm is my friend. You may know him. He was unable to make it to Ghana for Christmas so perhaps you didn't meet him on your trip. I believe he was with Adam in the north. - Justine (justine.gozzi@gmail.com)

oh yes, I did meet Malcolm. He was at the hostel when we were there, the 2nd and 3rd time. IN fact, I got to sit on his lap in the taxi on the way to the airport.
