I created this blog when I was still living in West Africa. I envisioned an open forum where I could post my experiences, reach the masses and receive infinite feedback. Or, at the very least, get some stuff off my chest. Feel free to do the same. Friday, February 11, 2011. How does that work? So yeah, I took everything offensive down and put it back up aga.

Madame Toubab or My Life in Peace Corps Mauritania. Saturday, April 19, 2014. Today I attended a Peace Corps event for a send off to 30 or so San Diegans ready to head off for their Peace Corps service. I felt smug because I had earned the right to be blaisse to their angst about their not knowing if they would be accepted; if nominated, where they were going; if invited, what to pack. As I was sitting there I was saddened, disappointed that there was no possibility of anyone heading to Mauritania.
