africa live

today i went to a sudanese school here in cairo. the girls braided my hair, the boys played basketball, they sung songs, we played english word games..........amidst all of this, i remembered that i live in egypt........



since 2001 when i spent some time in kenya, africa holds a special place in my heart and today, that place grew a little larger, it sang a little louder, and danced that much longer. today, i remembered:

africa lives in me.


i've been travelling this week and am excited to share some of those experiences. perhaps when all the current fun finishes, i'll post some pictures!
