Arrival

I'll keep things brief, as I'm mere seconds away from falling asleep on the closest flat surface.

I've arrived in Dakar, and was pleasantly surprised that my academic director was waiting at the airport when I got off the plane at 1:30 this morning. I had fully anticipated having to wait until everyone else arrived at 6.

I got to use French with some random people, and almost got ripped off at the airport due to trying to function on three or four hours of sleep. It was raining when I arrived, which was a pleasant relief from the 28 degree (Celsius) heat and humidity.

I'm in the hotel right now, using the Wi-Fi and anticipating a nap and a shower before everyone else arrives.
