Hello! and goodbye...

So I'm going to take a stab at blogging as a means of staying in touch. Well, at least you'll get occasional updates about what I'm up to. And maybe I'll throw in some pictures too.
That's all really; packing isn't part of the adventure.

O, note on the blog's title [lots of pressure naming a blog], "teranga" is a Wolof word roughly translated to "hospitality," a characteristic that Senegalese people take pride in expressing. So don't worry about me; Senegal sounds like a friendly place!
