The Date is Slowly Approaching... 10 Days Away

With only a little over a week until I depart for Kenya, the pressure to be ready has dramatically increased. However, despite needing to wrap up packing and seeing people, I have finally established my post study abroad plans. From December 23rd to February 1st, I will travel to Mali in order to visit my sister (Meg) who is currently a Peace Corps volunteer just outside of Bamako. While this will decrease my time in East Africa, I am truly excited to take a month to explore the West coast of this amazing continent. I'm particularly excited by the prospect of riding a camel in Timbuktu, which Meg has laughingly promised we will do!!! But until then I must continue packing and dreaming of my return to East Africa...
