I lead a rich inner life, appreciate a good marshmallow, and have been known to indulge in the occasional Wednesday afternoon tryst underneath the linden tree. I am currently between extended trips to East Africa; this is my story.

Intermission

Hey yall,

I'm living in Harar right now, the fourth holiest city in Islam (after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem). I'm lucky enough to have fallen in with a Sufi Muslim who's teaching me the history of Islam and Harar. It's pretty enriching and, needless to say, fascinating. Anyway, I'm not in a position to post much at the moment. The book is coming along, however. I'm also working on turning this humble blog into a photo rich guide to the region; this is taking up a lot of my time. So I'll leave you with an ellipsis for the time being. Check back in a couple weeks and you'll see something new and deeply interesting, to be sure.
