Break is Nearly Here!

Winter break is so close I can smell it...I have one final left to take tomorrow at 10:30 and then I will have successfully completed by first semester at UNH, woo-hoo!

This is a map of Mali for those of you who are not quite up on your African geography.

I'm going with this funny guy:

Then it is back to studying this:

And this:

If nothing else it should be one big fat adventure! Are you coming along for the ride???
