“The darkest thing about Africa has always been our ignorance of it.”

John and I got our tickets to Burkina Faso today.

We will be going at the end of October. We will going through Casablanca, Morocco. We will be in Morrocco for two days. I plan to go ammonite and trilobite fossil hunting. Then flying on to Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. We will be meeting up with John's friend who works for the Peace Corps and spending seven days in Burkina Faso. We plan to see the International Art and Craft Fair, Ouagadougou, better known by its French name as SIAO, Le Salon International de L Artisanat de Ouagadougou, one of the most important African handicraft fairs.

The quote in the title is from George Kimble, geographer.
