Africa?
I walked into my parents' house in Wenatchee and on one coffee table was a copy of the Smithsonian: "Come with us to the Casbah (before it's too late)" and on another was a copy of National Geo: "Africa's Ragged Edge: Journey into the Sahel." That evening I watched Casablanca with my parents and when I went to bed I found a new book by my bed that I'd been wanting to read (thanks mom!) per a recommendation from AG with the first sentence: "The unusual events described in this chronicle occurred in 194- at Oran." (gold star to anyone who knows what book I'm reading... write it in the comments) Anyway, I'm taking all this as a sign that I need to get myself down to the North African coast sometime in the near future...

The book is The Plague by Albert Camus. I still check your site almost daily. I appreciate the frequent updates.

Si tu t'intéresses à Camus. il faut lire "L'Hôte," une des six nouvelles de "L'exil et le royaume." C'est une petite histoire, sobre mais lyrique, qui se concerne des relations de deux étrangers en Algérie et que mes classes de la quatrième année (ton père inclu) ont bien aimée.

The plague, exactly!
Granny- I will read The Guest too... I will have to get a copy in French :)
