Nahawna Afooa: December 2007
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Tucked, tight. Kill the hill! I recently went cross country with some friends in the Bay o' Thunder. One is a. Killer down hill skiier. The other a never skiier, and me a. Alumna. Fun abounded. The first crash by the never skiier was spectacular. Careening down her first hill at a whopping 1km/h, she became clausterphobic of the tracks and aborted the mission. Skis like chopsticks in a piping hot bowl of tangled noodle legs. Crowd applause: 9.5. Pix: Still waiting . . . Grrrrrr ;). Posted by Nahawna Afooa.

Nahawna Afooa: April 2008
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Ex-pats Cry Twice: The Dhaka Club Scene. Apparently the saying goes: Expats cry twice - once when they are told they have to go to Bangladesh and once when they have to leave. Why? Because Bangladesh is considered the bottom rung of locations to do development work in the world. Africa is at the top, BD at the bottom. This is what I've learned from all the yearning to go to Africa I've heard from the Aid workers here. Now why do they hate to leave? Posted by Nahawna Afooa. I am your mother's father.

Nahawna Afooa: On the milk route to Yellowknife
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2012/09/on-milk-route-to-yellowknife.html
On the milk route to Yellowknife. The game plan according to customers service at Air Canada is three connections, eight hours of layovers and sixteen hours of total travel time. I'm at the half way point and I feel like I got sideswipped by an oil tanker making a home run to Fort McMurray. The arsenal for my counter attack includes two ten dollar meal voutures, free wifi and two maple sours at Montana's at lunch time. I realize my offence is weak. Score: Air Canada 1, Nahawna 0.

Nahawna Afooa: May 2008
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
1/12 th to go. Today I am 29 and 11/12ths. Most people stop counting their age in months or fractions of years when they turn ten. But I have persisted. And today, I am twenty nine and eleven-twelfths. The significance is this: it is the deciding moment when your age either progresses or remains 29 until you are 92 and have wrinkles deep enough to hide your bubble-gum lip gloss. Well, at least I have one month to decide what my next birthday will yield. Posted by Nahawna Afooa. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nahawna Afooa: March 2008
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sundarbans: The Human Side. Canoe ferries across the river. Dozens went by in a matter of minutes carrying everything from produce to people to livestock. Hauling a load of bricks downstream. Returning to the mother ship after a day hiking in the mangrove. On the prowl for tigers . . . Fisherman's house and traditional boat. Fisherman setting off in the dense early morning fog. Shrimp fisherman and saris drying on rooftops. Posted by Nahawna Afooa. Sundarbans: Birds and Beasts. The park rangers' pet wild...

Laquo; something new. Long live the blog! March 28, 2007 by tytto. There have been crazy work hours (now over, thank god), and a serious computer crash (not quite done with that one, sadly). So, while I wait to have all of my electronic data from the past 5 years retrieved from my dead harddrive, there isn’t much to say. And there are also no photos. Today I managed to purchase a new harddrive, install it, and reinstall my operating system all by myself. Woo! Posted in rant ramble. Enter your comment here.

Nahawna Afooa: November 2007
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Fabulous expression. Try it, toss it around. For example:. Grey Cup half-time show butt cleavage, like OMG that's so fringe kink. Don't get any funky ideas, the butt cleaveage was Lenny's not mine, and there were multiple glimpses into the cavernous depths of the BC. Gratuitous really. Not a big fan of the big C upfront, behind or down low in the toes (perhaps the most offensive.). Getting back to the root of the expression, courtesy of the Globe and Mail http:/ www.theglobeandmail.com. 2 7 days to my la...

Nahawna Afooa: E is for Elusive
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2011/02/e-is-for-elusive.html
E is for Elusive. E is for elephant. My proverbial hunt for this large yet elusive beast continues. Mt Elgon is equally as well known for its caves as it is for the mountain itself. Famous and infamous can be applied fluidly to the caves: famous for the elephants who mine for salt in their depths and infamous for an ebola outbreak that also originated in their depths. Tracking the pachyderm into the darkness . . . Millions of eyes were upon us as we ventured deeper into the hollows . . . A Treat a Week.

Nahawna Afooa: Reaching new heights
http://peppermintfriday.blogspot.com/2011/02/reaching-new-hieghts.html
On flat ground with the summit in the distance. Heart rate 100. Climbed a few foothills, nearing the half way mark. Heart rate 150. The vertical ascent to the summit. Heart rate 220. The views from 4222m (13 852 feet) were spectacular and well worth the effort. Behind me was Uganda and in front, Kenya. Posted by Nahawna Afooa. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
