Nan Goes From Nam to Nash. Otherwise known as my journey from America to Africa and back again. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. A brief haiku ode to chapati, my one true African love:. Chapati, you thief.

Nan Goes From Nam to Nash. Otherwise known as my journey from America to Africa and back again. Saturday, March 10, 2012. Darkness is a Harsh Term, Don't You Think? Roll away your stone, I'll roll away mine. Together we can see what we can find. Don't leave me alone at this time. For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside.

A ten hour layover in Chicago afforded me the opportunity to spend a day in my hometown suburb of Glenview, IL. What does one do when one has to cram all the best things of this town into one day? 1 Have tea time with Nanny and talk about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. 2 Entice your dogs with some tunes on the keys. 3 Eat a whole bowl of M&M's. 9 Lay on the sandy beach.

http://karenemcgee.blogspot.com/2012/06/thriving.html

Nan Goes From Nam to Nash. Otherwise known as my journey from America to Africa and back again. Sunday, June 10, 2012. I might even grow accustomed to the storm. Of car horns and vendors. Can there be anywhere else in the world that is such an assault on the senses. Those who know the country though just go about their business. But nothing can prepare the uninitiated for this riot. Of noise and color - the heat, the motion, the perpetual teeming crowds. Initially, you're overwhelmed. How Sweet It Is.

Nan Goes From Nam to Nash. Otherwise known as my journey from America to Africa and back again. Sunday, January 9, 2011. New, never before eaten foods: peanut butter, mangoes, cucumbers.

It’s wonderful! The sky. Every sunset makes my...
