The following is an open letter to Mr. Peter Hartwick, in light of the fact that he will soon be joining us. His addition to our adventure team is highly anticipated and hotly discussed, finally we will be complete.
Dearest Peter,
Please bring the following from home, we trust you will have enough room in your bag.
- One spicy tuna roll, eight pieces of salmon sashimi, vegetable tempura, two chopped scallop cones, and one miso soup
- 150 pairs of underwear (one for each day left, so we never have to wash them again)
- Canucks car flag (for future bush taxi rides)
- One Grandville Island summer mingler
- A pillow that isn't made of plastic bags, hay or cottage cheese
- Three empty kleenex boxes and eighteen elastics for making box guitars (we miss jamming)
- Hugs from our dads - we'll catch our moms en route (and make sure to not hug anyone else in between us and our dads)
Can't wait man!
PS. We're in Sengal in a city called Saint Louis and heading south, we meet Peter in Dakar in a week. Woo Woo
Salam Alaykoum Habibi!
ReplyDeleteNice shots and writings - who's the photographer and who's the journalist!? And if I knew any better, I'd also say Indiana Jones himself is accompanying your adventures.
I just saw my bro latest film about African life through Montreal. You should all take a look, just make sure to turn off the high-def as it takes way too long to load otherwise.

Evan- you tough guy, we already knew you could best even Malaria with 1-star supplies! And on a side note, nice shades... but they would look better along side a bass guitar! I know you can find one out there. somewhere. i bet a bedouin has one.
Daniel- Shalom yeladim, ma'neesh ma!? I settled yesterday for the 1st time in what seems like ages! unfortunately i got too far ahead too quickly and got the beat down on trade agreements, mass robbed, and road blocks a-plenty!
Pete- DPAS is doing well, though its a change of faces with some veterans like yourself gone stacked with the newer faces. And Now For Something Completely Different: see if you can make another Bubblegum Rock over there! you may have to explain that last part to the boys.
Guys just remember, the bedouin are very hospitable and can magically produce whatever you need - don't ask me how, they just do.
Alaykoum Salam,
- Ari Baba
